Seven times. Career politicians have so blatantly gerrymandered our voting maps
that Ohio’s Supreme Court ruled the maps unconstitutional seven times. | “This comes on the heels of the Ohio Supreme Court and Ohio’s redistricting commission’s very lengthy and prolonged court battle in 2021 and 2022, where the Ohio Supreme Court ruled seven different times that different maps drawn by the Republican-dominated commission were “unconstitutional gerrymanders” in violation of the state constitution’s 2015 and 2018 newly approved ballot measures.”

| Believe me: I was the Chief Justice on that court. | “Maureen O’Connor was the tenth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio and the first woman to lead the state judicial branch of government.” |
| Now those same career politicians are lying about Issue 1. So let me set the record straight. | ”Ohio Supreme Court must protect voters from Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s latest lie“
“Ignore the lies — Issue 1 ends gerrymandering, a nice word for Statehouse cheating”
“Ohio Secretary of State is trying to flim-flam voters into acting against own interests”
“State Sen. Theresa Gavarone, a member of the ballot board, also signed off on the deceptive ballot language, seemingly putting her own electoral interests and the interests of her party above all else.”
“Opponents have been so aggressive in their fight to maintain the status quo that they wiggled deceptive language into the referendum’s ballot language.”
“Editorial: Issue 1 ballot language biased” |
| Issue 1 bans politicians and lobbyists from drawing voting maps. | “Issue 1 bans current or former politicians, political party officials, lobbyists and large political donors from sitting on the commission.” |
Issue 1 will restore power to where it belongs — with citizens, not politicians.
Join me in voting YES on 1. | “Ohio’s Legacy of Gerrymandering Could End This November — Ohioans will vote on a constitutional amendment that would establish a citizen-led independent redistricting process to replace the politically driven map-making system.” |
