Columbus - Republicans tried to block a trio of constitutional amendments aimed at changing Ohio's election system when they filed a lawsuit Thursday in the Ohio Supreme Court.

The proposed amendments are backed by Reform Ohio Now, a nonprofit group that has been circulating the petitions to qualify for the Nov. 8 ballot.

A new nonprofit group - Ohio First - sprang up to fight the proposals and bankroll the lawsuit.

The lawsuit demands that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell invalidate the petitions because they do not explain what sections of the Ohio Constitution would be deleted, just those that would be added, if the amendments are approved.

1. So? Would The Be Any Deletions?

Seems to me the Ohio Consitution must be mostly Swiss cheese, based on the amount of corruption publicly displayed.

They support the right to vote... in other countries. Niiiice!
