Ohio Initiative Proponents Ask U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Case on How Initiative Petitioning was Affected by Health Crisis

On February 10, proponents of some Ohio initiatives asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Thompson v DeWine, 21-1120. This is the case involving Ohio restrictions that hampered petitioning starting in 2020. A U.S. District Court had granted some relief, but the Sixth Circuit had reversed that. The case also asks the U.S. Supreme Court to recognize that the issue is not moot. The initiative proponents had previously asked for injunctive relief from the U.S. Supreme Court, but did not get it. However, the U.S. Supreme Court did grant injunctive relief to churches that sought relief from government-imposed health restrictions on First Amendment activity. Read the cert petition here.
