2023 STATE ISSUE 1


 * THE STATEHOUSE CON ON SELLING ISSUE 1 IN THE AUG. 8 ELECTION, EXPOSED:
   EDITORIAL
   
   Ohioans, don’t be manipulated and misled. Do what it takes to vote Aug. 8,
   writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.
   
   Editorial Board


 * WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE? IN ISSUE 1, LEGISLATORS TRYING TO KEEP OHIOANS OUT OF
   THEIR WAY: THOMAS SUDDES
   
   General Assembly Republicans have their Dockers in a bunch over the prospect
   that Ohioans — the source of all political power, the state constitution says
   — might use ballot issues to stymie the legislature’s antics. It’s called
   democracy. And that’s what State Issue 1 would kill, writes Thomas Suddes in
   his column today.

 * RAISING MONEY, PRIVATE CONFABS WITH LOBBYISTS AND A NATIONAL FIGHT OVER
   BALLOT ISSUES: STATE ISSUE 1 RECAP
   
   Here’s what you might have missed last week on State Issue 1.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias


 * STATE ISSUE 1 BACKERS AIM TO AVOID ABORTION. WHAT REPUBLICANS TOLD LOBBYISTS
   IN A CLOSED-DOOR FUNDRAISING PITCH
   
   The request comes as Senate Republicans put the final touches on the state
   budget, a pivotal time for lobbyists and their clients.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias


 * WANT TO GIVE MONEY TO THE CAMPAIGNS FOR OR AGAINST OHIO STATE ISSUE 1? HERE’S
   HOW.
   
   Campaigns for and against the proposal to make it harder to amend the state
   constitution offer options to contribute to their campaigns.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias


 * PUBLICLY, OHIO REPUBLICANS PREDICT STRONG TURNOUT FOR STATE ISSUE 1 IN
   AUGUST. PRIVATELY, THEY’RE PREPARING FOR THE OPPOSITE.
   
   A state party official said during a planning call on Thursday that he
   expects turnout to be close to historically low levels.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias
   


 * CUYAHOGA COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICIALS URGE VOTERS TO REQUEST EARLY BALLOTS FOR
   AUG. 8 ELECTION ON STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE
   
   Mail ballots will be mailed out on July 11.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias


 * STATE ISSUE 1 OPPONENTS SUE OVER BALLOT LANGUAGE AS GOV. MIKE DEWINE ENDORSES
   THE PROPOSAL: CAPITOL LETTER
   
   One Person One Vote has filed a second lawsuit challenging a proposal to make
   it harder to amend the Ohio Constitution.
   
   Jeremy Pelzer


 * GOV. MIKE DEWINE BACKS STATE ISSUE 1, MAKING IT HARDER TO CHANGE OHIO
   CONSTITUTION
   
   “The concern is people can come in -- outside forces, outside the state of
   Ohio – and spend a ton of money to try to impact (the Ohio Constitution),”
   DeWine said.
   
   Jeremy Pelzer


 * OPPONENTS TO CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE SUE STATE OVER STATE ISSUE 1 BALLOT
   LANGUAGE
   
   The new lawsuit is the second that One Person One Vote has filed with the
   Ohio Supreme Court challenging the proposal.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias
   


 * “YES” CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES FOR OHIO STATE ISSUE 1, TO MAKE CONSTITUTION HARDER
   TO CHANGE
   
   The campaign group is calling itself Protect Our Constitution. It will
   compete with a "no" campaign group called One Person One Vote.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias


 * READ THE OFFICIAL ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST OHIO STATE ISSUE 1, THE 60%
   CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE
   
   The arguments, prepared by Republican and Democratic state lawmakers, have
   been released ahead of the Aug. 8 election.
   
   Andrew J. Tobias
