This petition is for Florida registered voters who found the wording or presentation of Amendment 2 on the ballot confusing and/or may think that it lead to an unintentional casting of either yes or no vote. Amendment Summary (http://www.votesmartflorida.org/mx/hm.aspid=nov08_Amendment2): This amendment protects marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife and provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized. The use of the word unintentional means that the vote that was actually casted was the opposite of the intended casting, in this case due to confusion in the presentation of the amendment.

We hit one hundred signatures today. It has been exhausting to process how many people felt this same confusion but I am not stopping here.

This whole thing was a mess. Why is it so hard to just write things plainly so normal folks can understand? Felt like a trick question.

I was confused at the booth too. I thought I was voting for something else until it was to late. Very frustrating.

The ballot was worded so weird. Took me way to long to figure out which box was which, feel like I might have messed up my own vote.

The language was clearly designed to trick people. Super shady.
