I’m upset about it in every instance, no matter the issue. I have a college degree and I sometimes have to read it a couple off times to be sure I understand. Generally, I read it before I get into the voting booth. @robmandu you have to wonder how many people just saw allowing same sex marrige and voted “yes.” But, that question is not near as confusing as others I have seen. I wasn’t selecting this one in particular, it just reminded me of how it pisses me off when this kind of thing happens, and there is no way you can tell me it is not on purpose. The wording is on purpose with the hope of confusing people.
I wrote on fluther recently that my girlfriends daughter got every question wrong her recent math test that was written in the negative or not written as expected. List there numbers in order from highest to lowest, which number is not divisible by 3, that sort of thing. She understood all of the concepts but did not read the question word for word. A few years ago when I took a class a bunch of people (adults) in the class missed the questions that were worded in an unexpected manner.
The question should be currently state law allows same sex marriage In the state of Maine. If you would like to keep same sex marriage legal vote YES. If you would like to make it illegal vote NO. They should tell you what yes and no mean. Maybe that should be the rule, explaining exactly what the yes or no will mean.
