I voted early and voted yes to end this crap.

[ChrissyPoo]

Ohio please vote to stop the gerrymandering‼️🙏💙🇺🇸

[ablake]

We have 3 Ohio Supreme Court justice seats on the ballot as well. We must elect the 3 Democrats in order to flip the court.

[AaliaAustin]

Vote for every Democrat on your ballot. Silent majority needs to stand up and scream we are tired of republicans. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸I voted for Trump the first time! Yes I was conned by his lies. Don’t believe a word he says. Listen to the Republicans who are voting for Harris. I am an Independent. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Partisan Gerrymandering should be made illegal on a national level. Easily one of the least democratic things that happen in this country

Retired Ohio teacher here. I remember the 7 times the Ohio Supreme Court declared our school funding formula illegal and told the legislature to fix it. They ignored it for years until the make up of the court changed. Come on, Ohio! Vote for dems for the court and yes on issue 1!

[debrawalkermeyer]

I voted YES on issue One to end Gerrymandering! I am in Ohio and voted for Harris/ Walz. It is tough being a Dem here in Ohio. We voted to legalize/ regulate the sale of marijuana in a recent state election so we can do this!

This needs to be on every ballot in every state!! It's time for the people to choose who represent them, not the other way around!!

[TheCornhusker]

Gerrymandering needs to stop in every state.

[kathleenswarm]

I hope Ohio voters vote YES on Issue 1. The GOP made sure the ballot was written in such a way as to make it harder to vote yes. The explanation of the issue on the ballot is very meandering and long winded. In fact the place you enter your vote is on the SECOND PAGE. Ohio vote YES on ISSUE ONE. Finally tell the GOP to stop their illegal gerrymandering.

[ThePyrateGirl]

Ohio here and I voted yesterday! I was so happy to FINALLY have the gerrymandering issue on the ballot!

[chefwoodburn]

I’m an Ohioan and I already voted yes on issue 1!!!
Vote blue and defeat MAGA once and for all!

[spencertwoeightyz]

vote blue down the ballot to end gerrymandering in EVERY state.

[laurastanley]

I voted yes on issue one. I live in Ohio and I'm sick of republican crap!

[controlsofquality]

Former Republican here. Got my absentee ballot in Ohio and voted yes on Issue 1 on ending gerrymandering and went all blue down the ballot.

[nathanholden]

I live in Ohio and we need to pass issue 1. Vote yes on issue 1.💙

[cassidyblynne]

I'm an Ohio voter. I not only signed the petition to get this 'end gerrymandering' (issue 1) on the ballot, but I have voted 'yes' for issue 1. The GOP negative advertising currently taking place is terrible, not to mention, IMO, untruthful!

[joycesvoice]

To All Ohio Voters:🎉 VOTE "YES" to STOP the Gerrymandering in Ohio. (PROTECT your ELDERS!) Thank you & God Bless you ALL!!!

[Scapegoat]

Ohioan here, voted early blue down the ballot and yes on 1. There's lawn signs everywhere that read, "vote no on issue 1 to end gerrymandering". The deception is real.

[concernedcitizen]

Ohioan here. Not a Democrat. Voting blue entire ticket. Voting YES on #1!
