Ohioans are voting on Tuesday, August 8th on Issue 1, a ballot measure that could raise the threshold of support required to pass state constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%, as well as toughen rules for groups trying to place future ballot measures before voters. The measure has been met with opposition from pro-choice groups, who argue that it is an attempt to make it harder for Ohioans to pass progressive ballot measures, while supporters argue that it is necessary to ensure that constitutional amendments have broad support from the electorate.
