Still smarting over the Abortion loss, Republicans in the state legislature...
The devil is in the details of this disingenuous move which goes beyond banning foreign nationals (already barred from contributing to candidates and campaigns) with new requirements and hurdles intended to stop grassroots groups in their tracks. It is Huffman’s way to make it even more difficult for ordinary citizens to launch a ballot initiative — especially one opposed by the ruling class.
Also slyly folded into the compromised ballot bill embraced by DeWine was another “poison pill” that is also related to last year’s successful citizen initiative to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. This one attempts to short-circuit the legal process governing lower courts that temporarily block enforcement of state law while it is being challenged as unconstitutional — like Ohio’s abortion law. It was put on hold pending resolution of lawsuits that argue it in violation of the Ohio Constitution after passage of Issue 1.
