Fucking subhuman GOP trash are trying to make it nigh impossible to get ballot initaitives up for voting let alone passing them here in Ohio.

"Currently, a ballot initiative in Ohio needs a simple majority to pass. If Issue 1 passes, that threshold would be raised to 60 percent of the vote.

The proposal also would impose more stringent requirements on how signatures are gathered for ballot initiative campaigns. Campaigns must gather enough signatures to equal 5 percent of the votes cast for governor from 44 of the 88 counties in Ohio. Issue 1s passing would mean campaigns would have to gather that same percentage of signatures from all 88 counties to get a citizen-led initiative on the ballot"

Conveniently timed a couple months before a vote to add abortion as a right to our consitution. If this passes the abortion amendment will likely fail.

If you live in Ohio vote no on Issue 1. The whole thing is a fucking sham that takes power away from citizens specifically to get ahead of another upcoming vote and prevent us from protecting/expanding our rights in the future.

I mean abortion rights are one of the most important rights for everyone but CE was more fun before it got flooded by posters from the political board. Don't get me wrong we had plenty of topics about politics before but now it just feels like oversaturating. Just wish they never had closed the board so we could keep this more to be a general chat forum.

Also, Missouri tried to do something similar to this. The GOP gerrymandered legislature got butthurt that after years of losing Right To Work votes in general elections. So they passed it through the legislature. Then we got enough petitions to get it removed via a ballot measure. They also have been super ass blasted that we passed medical Marijuana and then a few years later legalized it via ballot measures created by petition. So now they want to make it next to impossible to use petitions to get things on the general ballot.

I got a political ad in the mail telling me to vote yes, saying how the radical liberals are going to steal the constitution and school curriculums with their gay agenda, with a picture of a drag queen. Guess what other political party loved to paint LGBTQ and their political opponents as groomers. They were prominent in Germany in the 1930's and 40's.

Antivax? What the hell are you talking about? I've never been antivax. You are just making stuff up now.

Most of you seem to be 261 regs who are now lost and need to make this your new home. And you're caught up by me because you know I lean Conservative and that alone makes you Ree.

I don't know the political climate in Ohio, but uncheck ballot initiatives / direct democracy can be used as a tool by the rich to pass laws; it can be cheaper to just purchase propaganda ads lying to voters than it is to bribe a dozen politicians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives_and_referendums_in_the_United_States#Objections_to_the_system posted:
There is no big secret to the formula for manipulating California's initiative process. Find a billionaire benefactor with the ideological motivation or crass self-interest to spend the $1-million plus to get something on the ballot with mercenary signature gatherers. Stretch as far as required to link it to the issue of the ages (this is for the children, Prop. 3) or the cause of the day (this is about energy independence and renewable resources, Props. 7 and 10). If it's a tough sell on the facts, give it a sympathetic face and name such as "Marsy's Law" (Prop. 9, victims' rights and parole) or "Sarah's Law" (Prop. 4, parental notification on abortion). Prepare to spend a bundle on soft-focus television advertising and hope voters don't notice the fine print or the independent analyses of good-government groups or newspaper editorial boards ... Today, the initiative process is no longer the antidote to special interests and the moneyed class; it is their vehicle of choice to attempt to get their way without having to endure the scrutiny and compromise of the legislative process.

On the contrary, I actually asked you to share your opinions (post #15) so that we could see if they differed from standard Trump supporter.

So far, all you have offered is 'I like Trump'. So why not fill in the blanks yourself?
