Legislative ActionIf you live in Ohio, go vote NO on Issue One today
That's all.
For anyone not in the know, i December last year, the state legislature voted no more special elections, which were mostly used for school levies, unless a school could show an emergency budget situation. Five minutes (ok a month or two) after the law goes into affect they see this citizen led proposed amendment to protect women's access to abortion up to viability (and I think there's another one related to drawing district lines because Ohio Republicans have been doing some ridiculous gerrymandering for years) gaining traction. And they know that support for a woman's right to choose hovers around 58%. So let's just make the votes required 60%.
Well now there's a special election with a constitutional amendment to increase the barrier for citizen-led amendments so that this (these two?) citizen led amendment can't pass in November. It doesn't do a damn thing to change how state legislator led amendments pass.
Not sure what the flair should be.
