Ohioans, any opinion you care to share?

Steve, as a fairly new immigrant to Ohio, is there anything about Issue 1 or about how Ohioans do politics that stands out to you?

If they had brought this up several years ago when casino companies and pot farm monopolies were lining their pockets with cash, and it was only the 60% threshold I might have gone for it. I've long thought it was too easy to amend the state constitution. But the timing and the huge amount of dark money from out of the state makes this the slimiest referendum I've seen in my lifetime.

No, a thousand times no.

Ohio state politics seem to be unique because of what’s called “The Five Ohios”. CA and a lot of other states have a rural/urban divide, but each of the 5 Ohios have both urban and rural areas in them. It’s one reason our two Senators are so different from each other.

The county breakdown shows interesting results. All the urban areas went for no, while more rural counties supported it.
