Medina County and Stark Counties very active with recent and upcoming rallies, postcards, signs. Many ask questions about “one person one vote”: For example, They see the lawn sign and react negatively. “I don’t get it, we already have one person one vote”. Unbelievably many don’t make the connection with the risk of losing their vote, the losing of one person one vote. Soooo, a lot of explaining has to accompany that message. At events when an alternative message lawn sign is offered “Protect Majority Rule” people are choosing that lawn sign over a “One Person One Vote” message Lawn Sign.
Yes! I don't even try to explain One Person One vote because I don't understand it myself. Not sure who came up with it but I certainly don't use it. A simple explanation of the connections with the Reproductive rights issue, and naming a couple of the other good reasons discussed by David and others for keeping Majority rules will do the trick for most people. Unless of course, they're all tangled up in the big money/corruption interests, or the religious extremists who have been one issue for 50 years. I do not believe they are the Majority.
The sign's I got hold of simply say Vote No on Issue 1 August 8 . Different organizations are making different ones to distribute. Thank you for posting the msnbc link. I hadn't seen that. Hope I can use it on my organization, Bold New Democracy's Facebook page.
I am an Ohio pollworker. At 5:30 AM on election day, we are sworn in buy the Voting Location Manager with an oath that we uphold the Ohio Constitution, that we have read, signed,understood and filed an ethics contract with the Ohio Sec of State ------ AND that we will not discuss POLITICS while working as a pollworker. On the May 2nd Primary election, it was impossible to avoid political conversation all throughout the voting locale, not by us pollworkers, but, by the voters. Some asking questions of us which we really could not answer without engaging into a political discussion. Many voters visiting among themselves. Voting is often a social event. Sooooo, last week I called the Secretary of State's office and said it was difficult to comply with the ethics document May 2nd and in my view, it will almost be impossible to avoid discussions on August 8th. I could not get an "answer" from the SOS office and was turfed over to a constituents affairs office staffed by Interim Director Allison Glasgow. I left a voice mail and as usual to any phone call I make to "public servants" in Columbus, I never ever receive a call back, from my state rep, from my state senator. I had trouble getting license plates on time even though I submitted my renewal as soon as it arrived in the mail. I finally had to call the Governor's Office and file a complaint. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS IN COLUMBUS IN THE MAJORITY ARE SERVING THEMSELVES AND NOT THE PEOPLE OF OHIO.
yes there are, there are a couple hundred groups throughout the state working on this, I do not know where you live but checkout facebook groups to get a sign

Suellyn lol I gotchya ummmm someone came up with a "fix" or "hack" today the VOTE NO SIGNS AUGUST 8TH down below, it is very easy to mask out the "one person one vote" with tape, choose your kind of tape, duct tape, I have a roll of blue painters masking tape which works. there's a lot of creativity being activated at the grass roots and as David Pepper said recently on MSNBC, a sleeping giant has been awakened https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/ohio-voters-scramble-to-protect-abortion-rights-as-gop-legislature-invents-new-obstacles-186931781831
