ABC6: “GOP-controlled court backs politicians over Citizens Not Politicians
Friends, the Republican-controlled Ohio Supreme Court just upheld Loser LaRose’s manipulative, deceptive, and unconstitutional ballot language on the anti-gerrymandering amendment we will vote on this November.
Honestly, what did we expect? The court’s Republican majority has a proven history of putting politics over people.
Ohio’s out-of-touch Republican politicians will lie again and again and do whatever it takes to confuse voters who want to end gerrymandering, all so they can climb the political ladder.
This is bad.
New polling shows Sherrod Brown losing ground to his GOP opponent, Bernie Moreno.
Sherrod Brown: 46%
Bernie Moreno: 44%
A race this close will be decided on the margins. We CANNOT let Bernie Moreno gain any more ground – not if we want to keep the Senate blue. We need resources to support Sherrod and we need them now.

It’s really that simple.
The outcome of the election for the Ohio Supreme Court this November will decide the balance of the court and have a huge impact on the lives of Ohioans for years to come.
The Ohio Supreme Court is set to make decisions on major issues: abortion rights, gerrymandering, the environment, and more.
Don’t get it twisted. If we fail to flip the court, the Republican majority WILL turn back time and unravel the abortion protections we enshrined in the state constitution. They WILL continue to allow gerrymandered maps and silence the voices of Ohioans.
Remember: this is the same court that ruled that boneless chicken wings can have bones in them. If the Republican-controlled court doesn’t even care to use common sense, how can we expect them to respect the rule of law and carry themselves with the integrity that our judicial system deserves?
Thank you,
Team ODP
