@janetate Yeah, it’s awful and I’ve written about it. People in the cities were drawn out of representation.
It is getting some national attention now. We need bigger D majorities in the US Senate and House so we can finally pass some election protection and get rid of gerrymandering. It’s anti-democratic.
Ohio has joined a growing number of Republican-led states moving to restrict citizens’ ability to bypass lawmakers through ballot initiatives. A resolution passed last week will ask Ohio voters in August to boost the threshold for passing constitutional amendments to 60% instead of a simple majority. Voters in Idaho, Missouri and North Dakota also could see Republican-backed ballot questions that seek to limit direct democracy next year. It's part of a trend that took off as left-leaning groups began increasingly using the initiative process to force public votes on issues opposed by GOP lawmakers but popular with voters, such as ensuring abortion rights.
