Well here’s the thing: Article XIV, Section 2 offers a much more straightforward way to put an amendment on the ballot. The General Assembly can do it with a three-fifths vote of both houses. No petition drive. No silly arguments about the imaginary limitations on voter-drafted amendments. If it’s really true that the framers of the constitution meant to preclude voters from assigning the auditor general a role in redistricting — that’s the argument that carried the day in 2016, folks — then it’s curious that they saw no reason to similarly tie the hands of legislators.
