If I may ask, what was the argument in favor of the change?

It’s almost always “I’m not into politics” until they realize that politics shape their everyday life and it comes knocking on the door.

It’s always super confusing when you realize you’re part of something bigger and not your own, isolated reality.

“Protect the Constitution”

never mind that they were “protecting” it by trying to gut and make useless one of the key parts of the constitution 🤷‍♂️

“Outside money is coming in and imposing it’s will on us…”

Election to change it drew $30 million in outside funding.

Last week I got sent some propaganda, printed like a newspaper to make it seem legitimate, especially to older folks. Articles about how BLM, Antifa, and John Legend (Ohio native that moved to 😡 California) are coming for Ohioans and our way of life by supporting not changing our constitution.

Mailed from Chicago.

The part that makes no sense to me about that argument is that the measure has nothing to do with money or even out of state money. For the life of me I don’t know why people are allowed to donate to campaigns on issues that don’t affect them directly, but issue 1 had absolutely nothing to do with money.

Everyone I talked to said they wanted to ban abortion, so take it with a grain of salt. I had to explain that taking power from people in order to get their way is a bad thing.

“Small minority” = more than 50%.

That’s immediately what I thought too. Apparently to them “simple majority” = “small minority”

I think what they are trying to get at is that 50% of the voting public is a small minority of the community.
