If the state constitution already says "US Citizen" then what is the change? I understand your claim of INTENT to be voter suppression but you do not clearly identify the change in proposed wording

As described in the article, the change being pursued focuses on a single word. Instead of the current language saying EVERY United States citizen age 18 or older may vote, the constitution would say ONLY a United States citizen age 18 or older has voting rights. That may seem like a trivial distinction to you, but to those pushing the change the distinction makes all the difference in the world, one so important that it's worth altering the state constitution to achieve it.
