What Will The Voter Turnout Be For Ohio’s August Special?

Показать описание
As the court fights over the legality of the planned August special election continue in Ohio, activists on both sides prepare their campaigns.
Voters will decide whether to make it harder to change the Ohio Constitution. If approved, the amendment process would have tougher petition signature requirements and amendments would have to win with a 60% margin.
One thing we know for sure is turnout will be low for a mid-summer election. How low is the question.
*Frank LaRose Defends Ohio Issue 1*
A leading supporter of the special August election is a man who denounced August elections just a few months ago.
Ohio Secretary Of State Frank LaRose was seen as a more reasonable Republican by most observers at the Statehouse. But since he started eyeing running for U.S. Senate, he has taken increasingly controversial positions.
LaRose has raised questions about election security in other states. He changed his mind on August elections, and he leads the effort to thwart a possible abortion rights amendment by requiring a 60% majority to change the constitution.
*Warren Davidson not running for U.S. Senate - LaRose close to a run*
We are about a year away from the primary for U.S Senate. Republicans are getting in the race in hopes of ultimately challenging incumbent Sherrod Brown.
Congressman Warren Davidson of southwest Ohio has said no to a senate run, preferring to run for reelection instead.
The Republican field remains at two official candidates. State Sen. Matt Dolan and businessman Bernie Moreno are running again after also running unsuccessfully in 2022. LaRose also seems like he’s running and said he could announce a bid soon.
*Drilling Under Ohio State Parks*
Drilling for oil and natural gas under Ohio State parks took a step forward this week. On the first day the state received eight applications to drill on state land.
State lawmakers allowed for drilling on state land 12 years ago, but it was not until this year that legislators forced the state to start the process.
The plan is drillers would set up rigs outside of state parks and use hydrolic fracking run drills under the parkland.
