Signal boost: Ohio Special Election and 2024 Senate Race

sathari gave a little blurb in thisfinecrew about happenings in Ohio, and specifically how the special election in August is going to be a critical one. If you or someone you know is from Ohio, make sure the August 8th election is on your radar!

Republican lawmakers in the state of Ohio are playing a bit fast and loose with efforts to support redistricting reform and abortion rights: they have passed an amendment to the state's constitution to make it harder for voters to pass constitutional amendments (like one that's being considered to make abortion a right in their state constitution) and they are hiding it in a special election on August 8th, where they hope voter turnout will be low to begin with. Here's a nice explanation from dailykos. And you may remember the Hope Springs from Fields folks from a previous post of mine, but they're kicking off canvassing for the 2024 election cycle in Ohio, which may also be relevant to the August election.
