Ohio Redistricting Reform will be on the ballot

[Raven123]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Voters will decide in November whether to overhaul Ohio’s system of drawing political district maps after state officials said Tuesday the campaign had collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Citizens Not Politicians, the campaign group backing the amendment, needed to get 413,487 signatures, including a minimum number from 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Tuesday the group had exceeded that goal, turning in 535,005 signatures while exceeding the minimum requirement in 58 counties.

1. Good to hear.

Damn shame the minimum wage issue won't be. But, last I read they were aiming for 2025. Here's hoping.

2. Every gerrymandered state needs to do this.

It's also time to put getting rid of the electoral college on the ballot in every state.

3. How many times do we have to do this!

I’m guessing the numpties at the statehouse are just going to ignore the will of the voters yet again- thumb their noses at us and the state Supreme Court and do whatever the freak they want to do. Again.

4. Hopefully this will be much better
