Ohio Issue 1 2024 - Delaware County Ohio Conservative Populist Report

Today’s message is going to be some Poop Truth. Topic: Ohio Issue 1 – Establish the Citizens Redistricting Commission Initiative 2024. This initiative has been brought forward by a group called Citizens Not Politicians (CNP) to address gerrymandering in the State of Ohio. In the United States, our current form of government is a representative constitutional republic. Citizens ELECT representatives to be their voice and perform the duties of government. Currently in Ohio, the statehouse is supermajority Republican – governor, secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, house of representatives (99 total – 67 Republicans, 32 Democrats) and senate (33 total – 26 Republicans, 7 Democrats). In 2015, voters passed an amendment initiative that established the Ohio Redistricting Commission (ORC). The commission has 7 members as follows: 1. the state governor, 2. the state auditor, 3. the secretary of state, 4. one individual appointed by the senate president, 5. one individual appointed by the speaker of the house, 6. one individual appointed by the senate minority leader and 7. one member appointed by the house minority leader. The appointees are all selected from the state legislature. The current ORC has 5 Republican and 2 Democrat members. The U.S. census is done every 10 years and is used as the source for drawing the Ohio district maps. The amendment proposed by CNP would establish a commission of 15 members – 5 Republicans, 5 Democrats and 5 Independents/other party members – who would be chosen by a screening panel of four retired judges – 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats. Of note with this new process, none of the participants are elected by the people. With the current process, all 7 members of the ORC are elected by the people. When I looked at who is endorsing the amendment proposed by CNP, what jumped off my computer screen was the overwhelming Leftist support – ACLU, Planned Parenthood and a plethora of labor unions including the American Federation of Teachers. Since I wasn’t born yesterday, or even the day before, I see what is going on here. Ohio is VERY red right now. This amendment is a hoodwink to dupe the majority of voters; who are busy with their lives and do not have a lot of time to dig deeply into the issue, with deceptive, circle time/Kumbaya, democratic sounding language – Citizens Not Politicians. CNP gets an A+++++ for marketing skills. This ballot initiative is a sneaky way for the Democrat Party and their big money backers to garner more input into the process of determining voting districts than they were given by the democratic voting process. I do have to give Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose this website’s highest honor – the Golden Milk-Bone Award. The Ohio Ballot Board, of which LaRose is a member, approved 3-2 (3 Republicans, 2 Democrats) the following ballot language, “Issue 1 – To create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the people…..” The proceeding statement is 100% truthful and accurate and infuriated the backers of the amendment, so Ohio Issue 1 2024 ballot language is now making its way through the court system. I’ve included some articles below concerning the ballot language brew haha. Most of the articles come from sources with a Progressive Liberal slant. Enjoy reading. There is nothing like the truth to reveal the Marxist con.
