What are your favorite arguments for voting NO this August?

I'm seeing a lot of confused voters on Facebook and Nextdoor and I want to do my best to convince them to vote no. Unfortunately, they are willing to give up their voting power just to spite people who are in favor of preserving the right to abortion.

For me it's not just about 60%, it's about the increase in the number of counties you need petitions from.

They're not just making it harder to pass things, they're making it harder to even propose things as citizens, and that's just unacceptable.

You need voters from each county right? That gives a disproportionate amount of power to people in counties like Vinton, who only have less than 13,000 people.

Yes, it makes it extremely difficult for anyone, especially grassroots movements as they'd need to find people in every county, and then voters in those smaller counties like you say, would have disproportionate power.

For all intents and purposes, if this passes, ballot initiatives are effectively dead in Ohio indefinitely.

Going against the topic question because this just bugs the hell out of me...a business next to mine has their vote yes sign up...then under that it says "Protect 2nd Ammendment"...wtf does Issue 1 have to do with 2nd ammendment? Absolutely nothing. These hillbillies will believe anything!

If they are conservative voting no is a direct vote for smaller more nimble government. It’s literally why they argue for fiscal conservative policy.

I feel like conservatives don't care about small government anymore. At least, since Trump.

10 years ago I would have considered myself a small government conservative. In some ways I still feel that way because of my distrust of the system but more and more I can’t jive with it
