Ohio Supreme Court orders changes to Issue 1 ballot language in abortion fight.
TL;DR Summary
The Ohio Supreme Court has ordered the Ohio Ballot Board to rewrite some of the ballot language for the August issue to make it harder to amend Ohio's Constitution, but backed other language that opponents said is inaccurate and would mislead voters. The court ordered the board to revisit part of the title and correct an error in the measure, known as Issue 1. Voters will decide Aug. 8 whether it should take 60% of the vote to amend the constitution, instead of a simple majority of 50% plus one.
