I know a few Ohioans and seen this topic come up. The Republican legislature is, intentionally, making this confusing, making it sound like voting No will protect citizens from gerrymandering, when voting Yes is what will actually protect citizens by having citizens control redistricting.

So, Ohio, vote YES on Issue 1.

The ballot language approved and used for issue 1 is bullspit & lies. See here, the actual amendment vs the ballot language.

In Ohio, we are voting in unconstitutional districts because Republicans ignored our last two anti-gerrymandering amendments.

Yes on #Issue1 would put districts in the hands of citizens, not politicians.

But the GOP supermajority is lying in the ballot language, lying that the amendment “creates a new board required to gerrymander…” blatantly false. Shame on the GOP for cheating and lying to citizens.

Weeks after #Ohio overwhelmingly voted to enshrine a right to #abortion in the state Constitution, abortion rights have secured another important win:
On Friday, the state Supreme Court dismissed a demand from the state to be able to enforce its six-week #ban, which has been blocked by an injunction from a lower court in Hamilton County since September 2022.

Explaining their decision to dismiss the state’s appeal, the state Supreme Court justices cited “a change in the law,” apparently referring to the successful abortion rights ballot measure, #Issue1.

After Ohio Supreme Court dismisses anti-abortion arguments due to passage of #Issue1, anti-abortion groups work with Ohio lawmakers to unveil total abortion ban by using the equal protection provision in the US Constitution and new laws defining personhood· Some say it could work., esp with conservative makeup of state & federal Supreme Courts. #Issue1 #Ohio #OHPol #USPol https://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-ohio/after-ohio-supreme-court-dismisses-anti-abortion-arguments-advocates-work-to-unveil-total-abortion-ban

It’s the latest development in the struggle over abortion rights between Ohio’s Republican-dominated legislature and the majority of the voters, who passed the amendment by a margin of 57% to 43%:

“To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with [the amendment], Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative,” said the mix of fairly new and veteran lawmakers who are all vice-chairs of various house committees. “The Ohio legislature alone will consider what, if any, modifications to make to existing laws based on public hearings and input from legal experts on both sides.”

The statement also contained unsubstantiated references to “foreign election interference” by billionaires before voters enshrined abortion rights in Ohio’s constitution.

Abortion rights advocates plan to ask the courts to repeal any remaining abortion bans and restrictions on the books in Ohio, including a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before abortion seekers can have the procedure and a ban on abortions after a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome

I feel as if a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders this morning. I'm so proud of my fellow Ohioans! Here's to hoping we can start turning this state around for the better!
