The Republican Voting Commission on Wednesday decided on Wednesday that the proposed amendment to equal state rights prohibiting discriminatory provisions must be divided into two amendments, double the number of signatures needed to obtain voting.
Two corrections would be:
- Prohibiting legislative Ohio and local municipalities of introducing or enforcing regulations or politicians that would discriminate against an ohiocene based on breed, color, religion, religion, status, sex, sexual status, sexual status or sexual expression and military expression.
- Open the current language in the OHIO Constitution He defines marriage as “only a relationship between one man and one woman.”
Wednesday’s decision means that the organizers must now double their efforts: instead of collecting 442 958 significant signatures from registered voters from Ohio in at least 44 of 88 Ohio poviats for one petition, they must now collect this amount everyone petition.
“This is a disappointment,” said Buckeye Flame Lis Regula, a member of the Equal Rights Petition Committee (Oer).
The organizers did not rule out legal proceedings in order to appeal against this decision.
“We must meet as a managerial team and make decisions that are informed by logic and data, not just our emotions,” said Regula.
Quick decision
Wednesday’s audition lasted Less than 12 minutes. Secretary of State Frank Larose began the proceedings, stating that they were not there to “debate the merits of the petition”, but whether the proposal represented many corrections.
The admonition was quickly rejected because the member of the board to vote Senator Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) asked his first question.
“How the same goal is able to allow biological men in the same cloakroom as girls, when they disagree … The same overall goal as allowing people of the same sex, consens’, for a wedding?” Gaorone was asked by Columbo, a lawyer from the McTigue-Cumbo law firm representing the organizers of Oer.
Columbo replied that everything in the petition is under an umbrella of equal rights.
The organizers say that the loaded question of Gavarone was not a surprise.
“He loves points for attacking the trance community, so it’s a brand,” said Regula.
Larose asked if voters could want to support one part of the amendment, but not the other.
“If it were a standard, it would be true in every proposal,” said Columbo.
Three Republicans from the Voting Card – Larose, Gavarone and Republican Republic Central Committee of the Ohio Troy Schroder State Committee – voted for dividing the petition into two parts. Senator Bill Demora (D-Cumbus) and a representative of Terrance Upchurch (D-Cleveland) voted against this conclusion.
The organizers call on the Ohioanie so that they are not discouraged.
“If this last republican action involves people because they are enraged, we will take it,” said Regula. “A long -term call to act is to remain involved and aware of what is happening at a state home.” Ding
