#issueone — Public Fediverse posts

#Ohio #GOP is lying about #IssueOne, an anti-gerrymandering amendment to create a commission of citizens (no politicos, donors, lobbyists) to draw legislative maps.

Lie 1: Commissioners can't be fired.
Fact: No. They can be removed under laws that apply to other state commissions.

Lie 2: Commissioners can pay themselves big salaries.
Fact: Commissioners get $125 per day (+ exps) for days they work.

Spread the word. #EndGerrymandering @FoxNews @CNNNetwork

The final result of Ohio Issue 1 continues the trend of urban areas leaning more progressive and rural areas leaning more conservative. Looking at the map I can easily imagine conservative provocateurs and grifters saying "Only a few counties voted No! There must be massive fraud in these big cities!", while knowing they are lying to their audience. MAGA supporters will nod and fume right along with them because they will agree with anything that fits what they want to hear.

A reminder to all: Land doesn't vote — people do.

I'm proud of Ohio for the first time in a long time.

The No vote for Ohio Issue 1 is so strong that the Columbus Dispatch has already projected its defeat. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/08/07/ohio-election-results-for-issue-1-aug-8-special-election/70542152007/
