Republicans in Ohio have set in motion a summer special election over a measure that would make it harder for voters to pass future constitutional amendments.
I am overseas and got the notification of this special election on the last day I could request a ballot.
I didn’t know what it was about and didn’t manage to request in time.
I see now that it’s about raising the threshold from 50 to 60% to pass citizen amendments to the constitution, which would impact the upcoming measure on the ballot in November.
While I’m disappointed I won’t be able to vote in the special election, I sure as hell will cast in November.
