A state panel has set the language that will appear before voters for the upcoming Aug. 8 election when they’re asked to make it harder to change the Ohio constitution.
Republicans rejected proposed changes from a lawyer for One Person One Vote, the campaign group opposing State Issue 1, that would more explicitly describe the status quo that voters are being asked to change.
Ballot board Republicans said little during the meeting. But afterwards, LaRose offered an explanation for the ballot board’s failure to include the information that would clearly spell out the current standard so voters could better understand the significance of the change. Republicans have talked for years about making it harder for ballot issues to qualify and pass, but fast-tracked the proposal this year specifically to try to spoil a potential November ballot issue that would gaurantee access to abortion.
The summary referencing 5% of eligible voters in each county is inaccurate, McTigue said. Under current law, amendment campaigns must gather signatures equal to 10% of the most recent election for governor, or 412,591 based on the 2022 election. As part of that, groups must collect signatures equal to 5% of the most recent election for governor from 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties.
LaRose told reporters he thinks “elevate” is a neutral term. “Elevating means to raise or increase. That’s the first definition in the Webster’s Dictionary,” he said.
