(Columbus) - Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose issued the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court of Ohio’s decision on a lawsuit challenging the Ballot Board’s approved summary of State Issue 1:
“This decision is a huge win for Ohio voters, who deserve an honest explanation of what they’re being asked to decide. The court’s opinion reinforces that this proposed amendment does in fact require the gerrymandering of Ohio’s legislative and congressional districts, and that’s something the dark money foreign billionaire behind this bad idea has consistently tried to deny. It won’t stop the false advertising that’s about to get dumped on the airwaves, but at least the voters will know the facts if they read the accurate summary on their ballot. The court asked for some minor adjustments to the ballot summary, which we will reconvene the board on Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. to approve.”
