Ohio Libertarian, Green, and Forward Parties Oppose Issue One, which would Make it More Difficult to Get Initiatives on Ballot — 14 Comments

  1. That’s a problem with initiatives to reform ballot access laws. The same people control both ballots.

  2. G MATH – LEGIS BODIES

    1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4 CONTROL

    SUPER-WORSE EXTREMIST PRIMARY MATH

    ONE ELECTION DAY
    PR

  3. It should be EASY to get initiatives ON the ballot, but HARD for them to pass.

    Initiatives for a law, are, and always should be, amendable and repealable by the legislature.

    Initiatives for a Constitutional amendment should always require a super-majority to pass.

  4. @Hank,

    AZ has divined the meaning of the Republican Form of Government in Article 4 of the US Constitution to mean Congress should institute martial law in Ohio.

  5. I basically agree with Walter: “It should be EASY to get initiatives ON the ballot, but HARD for them to pass.”

    How does Issue 1 hold up?

    -Easy to get on?
    NO… it changes the law to require signatures from all 88 counties, instead of half of them. Hundreds of thousands of signatures are needed (5% of last vote for governor).

    -Hard to pass?
    YES – it raises the threshold from 50% to 60%

    -Good turnout?
    NO… it’s on the ballot in an August special election.

    BOLD emphasis added [ DOES NOT SHOW UP ON BAN POSTS]

    57 10-2 By a faction, ***.

    60 10-11 If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote. It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution. When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good and the rights of other citizens.
