"Challenges at Akron-area polling stations during Ohio's Issue 1 election"

Voters in the Akron area and across Ohio are participating in a special election to determine whether Issue 1 will establish stricter rules for amending the state constitution. Some polling stations in Summit County experienced difficulties with new equipment, causing issues with ballot scanning, but voting was not halted. If approved, Issue 1 would require a 60% majority to pass a constitutional amendment and increase the signature requirement for placing an amendment on the ballot. The election has sparked debate between supporters who argue it protects the constitution and opponents who claim it interferes with the democratic process.
