I understand your point. In the context of the Citizens Ratification Amendment (CRA), ratification is indeed different from a typical vote.

While voting usually refers to the act of choosing between candidates or options in an election, ratification in this context refers to the process of formally approving or validating a proposed or existing law.

So, under the CRA, citizens would not be 'voting' for laws in the same way they vote for elected officials. Rather, they would be participating in the ratification or unratification of laws, essentially giving their formal approval or disapproval.

This distinction is important and highlights the unique role citizens would play in the legislative process under the CRA.
