to do "Disaster" or "Emergency" declarations by inserting themselves into the process. They carefully planned that by the 2 terms passage of the amendments (since they are a majority in both chambers), then purposely obfuscating the referendum language, AND finally having the ballot questions presented NOT during a GENERAL election, but during an always low-turnout PRIMARY election.

It would be interesting if some organization could sue based on when these ballot questions should be offered - i.e., ONLY during "general elections" vs "primary elections", mainly because the way the PA elections go, there is no "open primary", so you would also miss quite a bit of "Independent" voter input because they normally are not voting in the primaries.
