BREAKING: Issue 1 has been defeated!
Tonight was a major victory for Democracy in Ohio. The majority still rules in Ohio, and the people’s power has been preserved – because Ohio voters showed up and overwhelmingly voted down Issue 1.
Voters saw Issue 1 for what it was: a deceptive power grab designed to silence their voices and diminish their voting power.
We defeated Issue 1 because an enormous coalition that spanned traditional ideological divides came together to defend democracy. We are so grateful to everyone who talked to a neighbor, knocked on a door, made a phone call, spread the word online, or donated to help deliver this victory.
Onward.
