The Ohio Supreme Court has let stand ballot language that will describe this fall's Issue 1 as requiring gerrymandering, when the proposal is intended to do the opposite.
And then if the initiative passes they can come back and say ‘But the people clearly voted to require gerrymandering to favor the 2 largest parties’. Head I win, Tails you lose.
Theoretically the bill’s summary language shouldn’t impact the intent of the bill, but it will likely confuse the shit out of voters at the polls. Similar to the abortion bill language last year.
