In a state where Sarah Huckabee Sanders will soon be governor and a Republican trifecta will control the government, you wouldn’t expect common sense to win out when it comes to a ballot measure regarding “religious freedom,” but that’s what happened with Amendment 3, a proposal intended to block the government from ever “burden[ing] a person’s freedom of religion” unless there’s a really good reason for it and it’s done in the least restrictive way possible.
Last night, it became official: the side against the proposal won 50.4% – 49.6%.
