Team,

Late last week, an extremist-packed Ohio state legislature voted to refer a measure to the ballot in August that if passed, would require a 60% approval threshold for any future ballot measures to succeed in the state. 

We want to know what you think about this move, team — is this move anything more than a thinly-veiled attempt to restrict the power of voters?

We’ve seen similar attacks in other states. Just last year we defeated Amendment C in South Dakota and Issue 2 in Arkansas — both attacks that required the same 60% supermajority for any future measures to pass. 

Usually these attacks are in response to a progressive measure being passed by voters — or in an attempt to keep a future progressive issue from ever reaching the ballot. And team, this restrictive measure is no different — Ohio extremists have gone ON RECORD stating that this 60% supermajority manuever is an attempt to keep voters from protecting abortion via ballot measure as soon as this November. 

We want to know how you are feeling about this attack, team: Is this just the latest attempt to suppress the power of voters? Is this democratic? Is this even fair? Please let us know what you think by taking our short survey here. →
