I’ve been seeing a lot of vote yes signs in NE Ohio and have been getting a lot of spam texts as well. People need to get out and vote No and protect their right to amend the Constitution. Don’t forget early voting is an option too!
I collected signatures for the SB5 referendum. The current rules are difficult enough.
Have you talked to the people with the vote yes signs? What's their logic?
The vote yes signs I've seen suggest the idea is to outright make it impossible to modify the constitution in a bid to fend off the possibility of rebuilding abortion access or introducing new gun control efforts
Funnily enough, some of the conservatives I know personally are planning on voting no out of fear that Issue 1 passing might backfire on them and activate the Dem voter base to the point they'd lose their majority in the state and a potentially useful tool to combat a theoretical Dem majority
Oh, well at least everyone agrees as to the fundamental point of the ballot measure, that's not always the case!
