Ohio Special Election and 2024 Senate Race

[sathari]

Republican lawmakers in the state of Ohio are playing a bit fast and loose with efforts to support redistricting reform and abortion rights: they have passed an amendment to the state's constitution to make it harder for voters to ETA: put reforms/initiatives/measures of any kind pass constitutional amendments (like one that's being considered to make abortion a right in their state constitution) /ETA, and they are hiding it in a special election on August 8th, where they hope voter turnout will be low to begin with. Here's a nice explanation from dailykos. And you may remember the Hope Springs from Fields folks from a previous post of mine, but they're kicking off canvassing for the 2024 election cycle in Ohio, which may also be relevant to the August election.

(FYI, there's currently no state tag for Ohio, or I would have used it here.)
