Ohio Supreme Court orders rewrite of constitutional amendment ballot language
Fox News
The Ohio Supreme Court on Monday ordered a state panel to rewrite language used on the state's August ballot over its "misleading" outline of a constitutional amendment reform question.
Monday's ruling was a partial victory for One Person One Vote, the campaign opposing Issue 1, which calls for raising the threshold for passing future constitutional amendments in Ohio from a simple majority to 60%. Amid loud protests, Statehouse Republicans advanced the issue and timed it to thwart an abortion rights issue in the works for this fall. That's despite passing a law eliminating most August elections mere months earlier.
The high court ruled unanimously that the ballot board was wrong to describe the measure as increasing the standards to qualify "any" constitutional amendment for the ballot. That's because it imposes its steep new signature-gathering requirements only on citizen-initiated amendments, not on amendments advanced by the Ohio General Assembly. If passed, it would up the number of Ohio counties where ballot campaigns must gather names from 44 to all 88.
