Web search results discuss the constitutional amendment process and the need for multiple legislative steps, but none of the provided sources detail the specific requirement of 'two consecutive legislative sessions, with an election in between' as a universal or confirmed fact. The evidence is suggestive but not fully corroborated across multiple independent sources.

The web search results mention Democrats' victories and the context of the referendum, but none of the provided sources explicitly detail the claim that Democrats met the procedural requirement using a 'special session in 2024 and a normal session in 2025.' This specific timeline and mechanism is only implied or stated in the context of the overall narrative, not independently verified by the evidence provided.

The web search results contain general discussions about legislative procedures (e.g., Texas special sessions), but none of the provided evidence directly or independently corroborates the specific argument that 'Republicans argue that a special session does not count as one of the two required legislative sessions.'

The web search results discuss procedural challenges regarding timing and voting, but none of the provided evidence independently corroborates the specific claim that the first vote occurred while early voting was ongoing, thereby negating the requirement of two separate sessions separated by an election.

Wikipedia entries discuss procedural requirements for amendments (e.g., UNGA, general election laws), but none of the provided evidence directly confirms the specific procedural failure regarding the General Assembly failing to publish the amendment 90 days in advance before retroactively repealing the regulation.
