The state of Ohio continues to defend its right to impose normal signature requirements on ballot issue campaigns, amid the global pandemic. Uncertainty over the question prompted a voting-rights campaign to suspend its ballot effort last week, but minimum wage and marijuana decriminalization issues remain. In a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court, Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost argued that a lower court judge…who had temporarily relaxed the rules…effectively rewrote Ohio’s Constitution and Revised Code. The state also argued that changing signature-gathering rules now would lead to last-minute confusion and the possible wrongful passage of issues this fall.
