It's a cluster fuck of gerrymandered districts that constantly get shot down and redrawn now. It's a broken system that allows the party in power to stack the deck and stay in power.
Why would I care about "outside special interest funding" if that special interest is just trying to end gerrymandering across the country?
You gotta admit the wording of the amendment leads to questions that aren’t immediately find-outable.
In layman’s terms, and assuming l understand the gist of the amendment, rather than have our elected officials do the gerrymandering, we’re going to appoint a panel of 15 people to do it instead, and those people will consist of republicans, democrats and independents, and what they say goes and that’s just how it’ll be.
I don’t expect it will pass. Every hardcore republican and democrat voter is going to want to know how many of their party will be involved in this panel, and what kind of independents and how many of those?
I agree gerrymandering is lame. At the very least it’s one of the many instances where you’re disappointed in your elected officials because, come on guys, this is what l’m paying you for?
I don’t think Issue 1 is the solution we will agree on though.
I think it will pass and it's a huge mistake.
You guys don't know who's behind it, what if it's a conservative special interest group? What if the Republicans want it to pass?

Bleed gets it, you don't just put people in charge you know nothing about and haven't been voted in.
Right now our elected officials are held accountable, after this they will not be.(whoever they will be)
You guys are so quick to give away our freedoms and protection.

issue one is a hard no btw, doesn't matter if you're dem or rep.
Jax, it's a hard no- only if you're a hard core Card Carrying member of the GOP... Got an interesting flyer in the mail yesterday from the retired Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. (supporting Issue 1 BTW) The gerrymandered districts the Republicans drew up were rejected by the court SEVEN stinking times over the years. IIRC, Ohio voters passed initiatives a couple times to try and curtail the republican dominated redistricting's commission's bullshit- and It didn't work.
So Welcome to nuclear Issue 1, taking redistricting out of the hands of politicians. From my POV- it was time to tell DeWine and the other GOP members on the commission to go pound salt. Hardly surprising that they'd draw up districts favoring their political pals. Ever take a look at what Jim Jordan's district looks like? I have. ?

Yes, anytime an issue is backed by the ACLU it has our best interests at heart. ???

We know Republicans aren't behind it because they're currently behind fighting it and continuing to gerrymander.
The folks will be vetted by a committee of retired judges. The group will be split evenly across party lines.
The current system of "accountability" is a joke. The people in charge are stacking the deck and making it increasingly difficult to hold them accountable (the gerrymandering). Having fair districts isn't something that should be up to politicians. They should just be a fact of life.
Honestly surprising to me that conservatives have convinced the base to essentially be pro gerrymandering. But I imagine they realize they're voting more to keep Republicans with an advantage and not really concerning themselves about how.
For the record I don't care which party this would or wouldn't benefit. I see it as an obvious change that needs to happen. Like ranked choice voting and fixing our electoral college

Just wondering if they're many things as useless as premature poll/prognosis/speculation?

That's what makes your opinion worthless.

It's always going to be considered gerrymandering by the side with less power.
Giving in to fear mongering as always.

Except .... No ... That's not how this works.
You're dismissing everything as gerrymandering so you can defend... Gerrymandering.
Look, man, if you only goal is to vote for whatever gives Republicans the most power, regardless of any fairness or anything else, then that's your choice. Just don't pretend you're doing anything more than that.

You support Gerrymandering, just trying to hide it with a Yes vote which supports Gerrymandering.

Try to follow along hammer. Gee, I've only said this around a dozen times here. I happen to be pro life, and anti abortion... I even donated fairly regularly to the (now defrocked) Father Frank Pavone's Priests for Life- until he devolved into trying to hit me up for contributions every two weeks. And sold my name and address to every anti abortion group in the country. FYI- I do keep a spreadsheet of who's asking me for money, and how often. It's now 210 lines long. ?
