Mythical Ohio W

The petitioners would need to collect signatures from registered voters equal to at least 10% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election.

I really hate that this is the standard. It means that the more votes we cast for governor, the less power we have to enact a referendum.

That's how the establishment parties want it, because it entrenches their power while removing legal avenues for citizens to make change.

Are they gonna fuck the language like they did with fixing gerrymandering?

Until LaRose is gone, every referendum is going to have fucked language.

Yes, this absolutely needs to happen. And Ohio possibly doing so would be great. But it would be even better if it was done nationwide.
