Allison Russo, the leader of the Ohio House Democrats, says she thinks Issue 1 failed "100% because of the ballot language."
“I think if voters had accurate information going into the ballot box, it would have passed overwhelmingly."
Just voted and reread the Issue 1 ballot language. What a stain on Frank LaRose and the Ohio Supreme Court. Campaigning is prohibited in the polling place, but they did it right there on the ballot.
all im gonna say is americans need to abandon american individualism. and im saying this with love too, you need community to survive this. support each other. all minority struggles are interconnected
sorry to be this person but the tweets are starting. please do not leave minorities in red states behind , you have no idea how hard we fight every single day to win against gerrymandering and undemocratic supermajorities. every day is an uphill battle we cannot win w/o community
This sounds frivolous in the grand scheme of things but we need to support archivists, protect public libraries, protect journalists, writers, artists, photographers, and filmmakers. We need to continue to keep culture alive and educate our youth.
Rashida won in a state Kamala lost, in districts that flipped from Biden to Trump. These people didn’t suddenly turn right wing, they were actively lost by the Democrats who chose to ignore and patronize them.
no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.
Ohio’s Issue 1 failing is an incredible disappointment. Voters were intentionally deceived by Frank LaRose & I’m disgusted by this result bc there absolutely no way Ohioans earnestly look at this and believe it to be fair district to politically compete in.
Holy shit they’re already blaming the left and, get this, PUSHING ABORTION RIGHTS TOO HARD. This is what happens every time. The democrats lurch to the right, voters abandon them, and the dems go “the problem is we didn’t go far enough right.” Despicable morons.
lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.
they burned ballots in georgia, lost over 3000 mail in ballots and made bomb threats all day which led to make polls closing early and people having no where else to go to vote. if this isn’t voter suppression idk what the fuck is
Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.
Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.
