Ohio GOP pushes controversial constitutional amendment to August ballot.

TL;DR Summary
Ohio's gerrymandered Republican supermajority in the House voted to roll back the constitutional power of Ohio voters, aiming to stop an abortion rights amendment and further anti-gerrymandering reform. They plan to spend $20 million to hold a traditionally low-turnout August election in 2023 to ask voters to enshrine 41% minority rule. The proposal is opposed by more than 240 bipartisan Ohio groups, four bipartisan former governors, five bipartisan former attorneys general, and the entire association of Ohio election officials who administer our elections.
