What you need to know about voting in Ohio's Aug. 8 special election

TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio voters will decide in an Aug. 8 special election whether to change the threshold for changing the state's constitution.

Issue 1 -- the only issue on the ballot in this special election -- would require any future proposed constitution amendments to pass with 60 percent supermajority, rather than the 50 percent plus one that is currently required.

The measure is controversial and subject to legal challenges. Proponents, including most state Republican elected leaders, say it is necessary to prevent outside special interest influence in Ohio's constitution. Opponents point out that the measure is clearly aimed at defeating a November election ballot measure to protect abortion rights in Ohio.

A ballot sent in LaRose and DeWine are doing this because Kasich tried to kill the Public Union.

Well over 1 million signatures, on the ballot and we won.
I thought Kasich was bad, DeWine is doing his dirty work right in
The open. Good Catholic he is.
