EDITORIAL: 'With extreme partisanship infecting every branch of state government and now lined up behind State Issue 1, it’s up to voters to come prepared to stand up for their rights by voting.'
The Aug. 8 special election for Issue 1-- ironically, a type of election seemingly outlawed by HB 458 -- will mark the first major test of HB 458′s highly restrictive voter ID requirements, its limit of one ballot drop box per county, its earlier deadline to apply for an absentee ballot, changes in early-voting hours and other provisions.
Those without driver’s licenses or other official government photo IDs need to pay attention now to the new ID requirements, the rules for obtaining alternative IDs, as well as to the other restrictions.
Then there’s the biased title -- starting with, “Elevating the standards” -- that voters will see summarizing Issue 1. Merriam-Websteras “lifting up or making higher;” “raising in rank or status;” “improving morally, intellectually or culturally.” The four Republicans -- Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy and Justices Patrick Fischer, R. Patrick DeWine and Joe Deters --adding that “such wordsmithing should be left to [Ohio] Secretary [of State Frank] LaRose because it is not for this court to choose between words of the same meaning.”
