ShiroKuroThat's great! Also, pretty close to reality and very scary.

No, it's not even close to reality. I oppose the only issue on the ballot, Issue 1. Had they proposed it several years ago I might have voted for it because special interest referendums were showing up every election - casinos, casino expansion, cannabis, all sorts of constitutional amendments that should not have been amendments at all.
No, I oppose Issue 1 because it is only intended to stop a referendum on abortion in Ohio. I'm mostly pro-life, but the issue should be decided honestly. not through political trickery. The Ohio GOP is dishonest in their claim of protecting us from special interests.

Steve MillerI also oppose Issue One, which is “only” issue on the ballot in a very expensive special election.
The hope was that no one would turn out to vote against it, but judging by the yard signs there seems to be quite a bit of interest in defeating it.
Good.

Also redistricting (huge problem here) , minimum wage, and several other issues.

MikhailohWe already had a referendum on redistricting a few years ago. Didn't fix it.
I have long thought it's a little too easy to get a referendum on the ballot today, but there's way too much impediment in this bill.
