One day after an Ohio Supreme Court ruling, the Ohio Ballot Board revised the language for State Issue 1, the Aug. 8 proposal asking voters to require future constitutional amendments clear a 60-percent supermajority for passage.
State lawmakers approved a measure to ask voters if Ohio should raise the threshold for approving constitutional amendments to 60 percent. But in an unusual move, they set the August date for that election through the resolution itself. They made no changes to state law which strictly limit such elections.
