<![CDATA[Issue 1 in Ohio defeated]]> I haven’t seen anything posted about this. The issue was soundly defeated. I was wonder what people thought about this? 
As someone who doesn’t live in Ohio anymore, it didn’t really affect me, but if it would’ve passed, it would’ve set a very dangerous precedent IMO

Good thing the people in Ohio saw it for what it was

Where did you get that number?

If you search the topic, this is what comes up

How many states require a supermajority to amend state constitution?

Of the 18 states that permit the state constitution to be amended through the initiative process, only one state requires all initiative constitutional amendments to be approved by a supermajority in all circumstances.

Here…plenty of reading on the subject.

Myself included.

It should’ve been 60% of the counties.

That would have made more sense at least

the commercial voting NO on issue one - how the hell does making it harder to change

our Constitution "take away our freedoms" ????

and how would it passing cut our Constitution in two with scissors?
