(WLIO) - The Ohio Secretary of State is pushing to have a 60% voter approval to add to or change the Ohio Constitution.
Frank LaRose would like to see a supermajority in elections, but that requirement would only be for voter-approved amendments that are put on by the public, not by state lawmakers. For ballot issues put on by state lawmakers, like Issue One and Two in this past general election, the pass or failure would only have to reach, at least, 50%. Currently, there are outside organizations that are considering putting issues on the ballot, regarding redistricting maps and abortions. And legalizing marijuana for recreational use for adults. LaRose says both Republican and Democratic led states including Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, and Florida have a supermajority rule in place.
