I wonder what impact the ordering of those clauses has on people reading/voting. I didn't even notice "or grant preferential treatment to" until the ~third read through, still trying to figure out why anyone would vote to repeal this.

Alternative ordering for comparison:

>The State shall not grant preferential treatment to, or discriminate against, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.

It will be interesting to see whether the BLM movement and attitudes plays a factor into this proposition's turnout, or cases like this one cause other people to rethink their support.
