If you live in Ohio, call you state reps Monday. Hold this POS accountable. The people used their voice know. If not, be in the streets protesting.

This looks suspiciously like the system working... I remain skeptical, but cautiously optimistic.

Not really like the system working. More the opposite.

FTFA: “[he rejected it because the] proposed constitutional amendment’s title — “Ohio Voters Bill of Rights” — was “highly misleading and misrepresentative” of the measure’s contents. He issued the decision even while acknowledging that his office had previously certified identical language. It certified a Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2021 and another Ohio Voters Bill of Rights in 2014.”

Seems like he’s trying to prevent everyone who can vote, from voting.

Yes, that was last week though. This week, the system suspiciously looks like it might actually correct this bad actor, for once.
