Fall abortion battle propels huge early voter turnout for an Ohio special election next week
Republicans in Ohio have set in motion a summer special election over a measure that would make it harder for voters to pass future constitutional amendments.
You're viewing a single thread.
I live in a dense neighborhood close to Cleveland, and I can see “Vote no on issue 1” signs all over. I figured a “no” turn out was in the bag. But then I drove through some more rural areas of OH, and there are “vote yes” signs everywhere. Now I’m worried. How dumb can these people be? I mean dumber than voting for trump twice?!
The thing to remember is population density. Yes, in rural areas you'll see all sorts of conservative crap, but no one lives there. Those bright red areas outside city limits are vast tracts of mostly empty land.
Absolutely, but In our system, land votes
It's true, but with overwhelming turnout, the hand on the scale can be countered.
So I guess the answer is: VOTE. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.
Lots of people seem happy to vote against their own self interests. They fail to imagine a future where they may want to use the same mechanism to help themselves. Honestly, I've just accepted that a large portion of people are incredibly stupid, easily manipulated, and lack any sort of understanding of how their actions may impact their own future.
Hopefully they dont win this special election. Good luck to those voting No!
Similar, went to visit friends in rural Ohio and saw a tremendous amount of "yes on 1" signs. I had only seen like 2 in the city vs hundreds of NO.
Honestly made me really sad.
Yep, you're in a pretty liberal stronghold. We lived in a dense neighborhood in Columbus and it was the same way.
