Republicans on the Ohio Ballot Board have decided on language to be printed on Nov. 7 ballots to explain the proposed abortion rights amendment including phrases the measures backers say amount to propaganda.
Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights, after a late Thursday afternoon Ballot Board meeting, said it is considering filing a lawsuit at the Ohio Supreme Court to compel the board to use more accurate language. The campaign doesnt have a lot of time only roughly a week to submit a complaint.

(11,139 posts)Who knows if there would have been enough valid signatures for this GOP newly created very selectively worded amendment proposal.
I think those that signed would have standing in that what they agreed to (as if a contract) was changed after they gave their signature.
