#Ohio #GOP is lying about #IssueOne, an anti-gerrymandering amendment to create a commission of citizens (no politicos, donors, lobbyists) to draw legislative maps.
Lie 1: Commissioners can't be fired.
Fact: No. They can be removed under laws that apply to other state commissions.
Lie 2: Commissioners can pay themselves big salaries.
Fact: Commissioners get $125 per day (+ exps) for days they work.
Spread the word. #EndGerrymandering @FoxNews @CNNNetwork
Q: What is wrong with #Ohio???
#vance triggers bomb threats with violent lies about Haitian residents.
Ohio #supremecourt says itโs legal to sell boneless chicken with bones inside.
Portage County #sheriff wants addresses of #kamalaharris voters for future retribution.
Now Twinsburg mayor threatens voters who want accountability and transparency.
A: Ohio is what happens when laws are rigged for permanent #GOP rule.
Vote Yes on #IssueOne to ban #gerrymandering.
Welp! That didn't last long. Get ready to fight for your reproductive rights and enforcement of the rules of law that protect us all. #Ohio #IssueOne #VoteBlue #VoteBlueEveryElection
Bear in mind, he deliberately changed the language understanding how the polarized "unborn child" is different from the neutral "fetus".
If the language means the same, then why not leave "fetus" in the amendment?
Just got asked to be the County organizing lead on Issue One (Reproductive Rights ballot initiative) for my County between now and November.
No pressure or anything.
And remember folks: the reward for good work is more work!
#FrankLaRoseโs very bad day. Sec. of State dodged press, issued angry statement as #Issue1 failed

The final result of Ohio Issue 1 continues the trend of urban areas leaning more progressive and rural areas leaning more conservative. Looking at the map I can easily imagine conservative provocateurs and grifters saying "Only a few counties voted No! There must be massive fraud in these big cities!", while knowing they are lying to their audience. MAGA supporters will nod and fume right along with them because they will agree with anything that fits what they want to hear.
A reminder to all: Land doesn't vote โ people do.
I'm proud of Ohio for the first time in a long time.

Congratulations #Ohio!!!
Not official yet, but it's 57% with over 50% of precincts reporting.
In #Ohio today, #Republicans f*cked around and, man, did they ever find out!
The No vote for Ohio Issue 1 is so strong that the Columbus Dispatch has already projected its defeat. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/08/07/ohio-election-results-for-issue-1-aug-8-special-election/70542152007/

@Athenae @damemagazine I suspect it's also about trying to distract form #abortion. The group Protect Women Ohio just started airing an ad that says #issueone on Aug. 8 "put[s] trans ideology in classrooms and encourages sex changes for kids." It's actually about giving a minority veto on the #abortionrights Constitutional amendment in November, but they know they're on the wrong side of that. So they gin up hate against a marginalized group instead. #trans #politics #ohpol
