Google can help when you are not sure:

Every age group younger than 65 voted yes at the required 60% pass rate.

In The Villages precincts the No vote was over 60%.

Precincts - Election Night Reporting

So in the Villages where the age certainly skews toward the older voter Mr. Morgan's statement is clearly correct. For Sumter County alone the Amendment failed by 10,000 votes. For the entire state it failed by 150,000 votes.
