I'm seeing a lot of confused voters on Facebook and Nextdoor and I want to do my best to convince them to vote no. Unfortunately, they are willing to give up their voting power just to spite people who are in favor of preserving the right to abortion.

You need voters from each county right? That gives a disproportionate amount of power to people in counties like Vinton, who only have less than 13,000 people.

Yes, it makes it extremely difficult for anyone, especially grassroots movements as they'd need to find people in every county, and then voters in those smaller counties like you say, would have disproportionate power.

For all intents and purposes, if this passes, ballot initiatives are effectively dead in Ohio indefinitely.
