After using the ballot amendment process to enshrine baby-killing into Ohio’s constitution, Democrat activists are seeking to employ the same strategy to hijack the state’s elections system.
Last week, Democrat-affiliated groups resubmitted paperwork to Attorney General Dave Yost in the first step necessary to have their amendment proposal embedding leftist-backed voting policies into the state constitution appear on Ohio’s November 2024 ballot. Backed by left-wing organizations such as the Ohio Organizing Collaborative and the Ohio NAACP, the campaign has recruited Cory Warfield, a Democrat strategist “who previously worked on Sen. Sherrod Brown’s 2012 campaign,” to help lead the effort.
Warfield more recently assisted Democrat groups in using the ballot amendment process to enshrine abortion into Ohio’s founding document last year.
According to Cleveland.com, Democrats’ new, deceptively-named “Ohio Voters Bill of Rights” initiative aims to not only repeal the state’s recently enacted voter ID requirements but also jam numerous insecure voting practices into the Ohio Constitution. This “wish list” of Democrat priorities include same-day voter registration, automatic voter registration, and an option for counties to expand “early-voting hours and offer multiple locations for early in-person voting and for ballot drop boxes.”
Rather than require Ohioans to present a valid form of identification in order to vote, the proposal would permit voters to “instead sign an affidavit swearing to their identity.” But just this month, a Clinton-appointed federal judge upheld Ohio’s voter ID law as constitutional, ruling that Democrat-backed plaintiffs presented no evidence such requirements place an undue “burden”
