FILE – In this Nov. 8, 2016, file photo, a huge “Vote!” flag waves above Interstate 35 as motorists pass, in San Antonio. Texas voters are being asked to approve or reject seven proposed amendments to the state constitution in upcoming elections. They deal with everything from property tax exemptions to looser home equity loan rules to sports raffles and savings accounts that offer prizes for opening them. The Legislature had proposed 673 constitutional amendments, with 491 approved by voters, 179 defeated and three failing to make the ballot for “reasons that are historically obscure,” according to the Texas Legislative Council.
