The program sparked a lawsuit, and the voucher system was struck down by the Florida Supreme Court. .. So, before Republicans and voucher proponents in Florida can give this another shot, they'll have to change the wording of the state Constitution. That's not exactly easy – constitutional amendments require the support of Florida's voters, and a clear majority of the state opposes vouchers. (A recent poll found only 38% of Floridians think vouchers are a good idea.) .. How do conservatives get voters to change the state Constitution to allow for a program voters don't want? By putting initiatives on the ballot that obscure their true meaning.&rdquo;
