https://apnews.com/article/redistricting-ohio-ballot-language-ruling-f77bce7d75cc8272bf2672301d7b8438COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Supreme Court let stand late Monday ballot language that will describe this falls Issue 1 as requiring gerrymandering, when the proposal is intended to do the opposite.
In a 4-3 ruling, the high court ordered two of eight disputed sections of the ballot description rewritten, while upholding the other six the issues backers had contested. The courts three Democratic justices dissented. The ballot language was approved by the Republican-controlled Ohio Ballot Board.
Citizens Not Politicians, the group behind the Nov. 5 amendment, brought the lawsuit last month, asserting the language may be the most biased, inaccurate, deceptive, and unconstitutional the state has ever seen.
The bipartisan coalitions proposal calls for replacing Ohios troubled political map-making system with a 15-member, citizen-led commission of Republicans, Democrats and independents. The proposal emerged after seven different versions of congressional and legislative maps created after the 2020 Census were declared unconstitutionally gerrymandered to favor Republicans.

(7,694 posts)2. I have been watching for voter fraud for a few years.
In this case, voter fraud is voter denial; blocking legitimate voters, blocking voter registration, and the classic - Gerrymandering!
Kansas , Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, etc. I now think that Ohio has moved to the head of the class!!! It has become the worst state in the union on scheming to deny voters the government they want.
The. WORST!
Fun fact: Theyre not even shy about doing it!!!
