I think the middle one could be the most damning. All it takes is one back woods county to stop the will of the rest of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHardBrownsFan1 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 The founding fathers were wise. They realized that the large metro areas is where the shit would flow to.

FY56 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 The founders were genius. They saw the need to provide a safeguard against mob rule, and that election outcomes were the result of all demographics/states having a voice, not just demonrat infested shitholes. They explicitly maintained that the popular vote did not apply.Thank you for the Electoral College. Issue 1 closely is in line with the Constitution of the United States. 51/50 is not convincing enough of a majority. It's "iffy" 60/40 proves you got it right. No question about it, a clear majority/minority Vote YES on issue 1. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You not getting something explained to you and you not liking / agreeing with the explanation are very different things. But you're a fragile little snowflake and you can't handle differing opinions.

I could post a well-done video on the Electoral College, done by good, educated and honest people, but rather than take a look, and provide a response, you'd be the one doing the ignoring and dismiss it as some right-wing extremist production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the issue too many people on either side goes straight for the talking point handbook. We are not nor will we ever met to be a true democracy. I've got my theories as to why but it's a fact nonetheless. WSS Dropping in for a minute Steve.... Two things I don't like about Issue 1. First the Repubs are against August elections.. and now they want one? A little bit of hypocrisy there? For sure, you'd have to be dense to not realize they put this issue on the ballot NOW so they don't have to deal with the pro-abortion issue LATER. They know which way the wind is blowing- those 700,000 signatures say so. The time to vote NO on abortion is in November, not August. I don't like 60% but I probably could live with 55%. What I REALLY don't like about Issue 1 (as Bob pointed out) is collecting signatures from ALL 88 Ohio counties. Anyone who's taken some tours though rural SW Ohio could tell you canvassing those counties getting 5% of registered voters to sign off- is an IMPOSSIBILITY- and the Republicans who put Issue 1 up DAMN WELL KNOW IT. So I'll let you explain how it isn't minority rule for a few hundred yahoos in Vinton or Gallia Counties effectively blocking a constitutional amendment from getting on the ballot? Yep, passing Issue 1 will effectively kill any citizen sponsored initiatives Steve- and I'm voting NO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democratic Party of Ohio requires that 60% of its delegates vote in favor of any changes to the organization's constitution. The party also requires that any candidates seeking its official endorsement before the primaries must receive the backing of at least 60% of the executive committee. Further, in order for members of the Democratic National Committee to revise its charter, they must meet a threshold of two-thirds (66%). The Democratic Party of Ohio opposes Issue 1. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
