Breaking Down Ohio's Issue 1
A multi-part series
On August 8, Ohio will hold a special election for a single issue that boils down to this: Should it be more difficult for the state constitution to be amended? The language around Issue 1 seems simple enough. However, the issue carries a lot of baggage on both the “yes” and “no” sides.
The Critical Reader is launching a multi-part series on Issue 1, looking at it from various angles, including:
The reasons why a special election is being held
What a “yes” vote could mean, vs. what a “no” vote could mean
How state constitutions are usually amended
And more.
