The Florida Legislature loaded up this year's historically long ballot with 11 lengthy and confusing constitutional amendments -- only to see voters reject almost all of them.

Eight of the amendments -- including a massive property tax overhaul, abortion restrictions and a "religious freedom" proposal -- failed to get the requisite 60 percent vote.
