VOTE NO
IN AUGUST SPECIAL ELECTION

House Bill 458 gives a minority of 40% control of the Ohio Constitution!

State Lawmakers believe that it should take a 60% voter majority to pass changes to our Ohio Constitution!

August elections statistically get only 7% of the voters to vote!

Is this any way to seek approval of a change to our Laws?

Gerrymandering in our state is destroying democracy!

These same voters voted last fall to eliminate August Special Elections!

AND they haven't even budgeted the $20 million needed for this Special Election!

Summary:
Ohio lawmakers beat a Wednesday deadline to pass a resolution (SJR2) that could put before voters in an August special election a decision on whether to make it harder to amend the constitution. Wednesday evening, after two new House members were appointed to open seats, 62 Republican members of the Ohio House voted to approve the resolution. But that didn't happen without a lot of controversy.

Ohio Republicans approve August election that could thwart abortion-rights push in state and guarantees the death of all future citizen initiatives for majority rule in Ohio.
