Ohio Ballot Referendum Must Be Rewritten

“The Ohio Supreme Court handed a limited victory to opponents of State Issue 1 on Monday by ordering Republican state officials to rewrite ballot language summarizing the measure’s effects,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

“The decision, issued by the four Republicans who hold a majority on the seven-member court, orders the Ohio Ballot Board to fix errors in the ballot language, including one that incorrectly described a new minimum number of voter signatures that amendment campaigns must collect from each Ohio county to qualify for the ballot.”
