An IMPORTANT note on the Ohio Constitution Amendment on redistricting...

[brooklynite]

This amendment moves redistributing from the legislature to a bipartisan Comission. The vote is next month, during the PRIMARY, not in November during the General Election. So even if you don’t have a competitive Primary to vote on, you still need to show up for the CA vote.

1. Mailed my ballot yesterday!

In-person and regular absentee voting is now going on--check with your county board of elections!

2. I think you mean re-districting.

3. I have one issue with it.

If a plan does not get the support of 50% of the minority party, it gets kicked to a committee made up of thw governor, state auditor, secretary of state and two lawmakers from each political party. If Republicans hold even 2/3 of those statewide offices, there will be no incentive to make a deal with Democrats. In other words, Ohio Dems better make sure they nominate people who can win instead of nuts like Dennis Kucinich.

4. I know our candidates for State Auditor and Sec State...

They’re both strong candidates (if Kucinich is the nominee) and support the Amendment as a be best option at present.
