Why did Louisiana voters soundly reject constitutional amendments backed by Gov. Jeff Landry?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : They raised concerns about loosening constitutional protections for property tax exemptions that churches and nonprofits receive.
50% : But the four ballot questions ended up generating two major opposition campaigns from unlikely bedfellows: Religious organizations on the political right worried about losing valuable property tax exemptions, and a coalition of community, social justice and advocacy organizations on the political left that feared limits on state spending as well as harsher punishments for juveniles in the criminal justice system, among other concerns.
47% : Then Landry crisscrossed the state stumping for Amendment 2, a revision to Article VII of the Louisiana Constitution which governs state finances.
