Ohio Government Appeals Decision that Allowed Electronic Signatures for Initiatives

On May 22, U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus refused to stay his earlier opinion that said Ohio must allow electronic signatures for statewide initiative petitions, and must dispense with the witness requirement for each petition sheet. The relief only extended to the groups that brought the lawsuit.

The same day, Ohio appealed to the Sixth Circuit, where it is Thompson v DeWine, 20-3526.
