The GOP Is Trying to Steal Democracy in Ohio. That Has National Implications.
#Ohio is already one of the most #gerrymandered states in the country. Its maps are so unfair that its own state Supreme Court voted multiple times to send the maps back to the drawing board, only to have its rulings repeatedly undermined, the clock run out, and the #illegally#skewed#maps still used in the midterms.
Now, a new threat looms in the Buckeye State. Facing the prospect of a #citizen#initiative to #restore statewide #abortion#rights this November, the GOP-dominated Ohio legislature is moving in advance to block it.
They have proposed a measure to increase the vote requirement for a constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent, along with making it far harder to qualify a citizen initiative.
In short, the Ohio GOP wants to write in a supermajority requirement, just as the will of the majority, which favors reproductive choice and the protections of Roe v. Wade, is about to make itself heard.
Wait, can they even do that? Just blatantly #move#the#goalposts, right as progressives are getting ready to score?
Unfortunately, there is no legal barrier preventing this. Instead, the people of Ohio need to make it clear that they will not put up with this #power#grab.
