2/ Update: Once it got through the #Ohio House, it didn't take long for it to go through and get to Gov DeWine. I guess if voters want Rank Choice Voting, they'll have to do it with a ballot initiative. #Voting #USPol

Ohio lawmakers send bill banning ranked choice to the governor • Ohio Capital Journal

The Ohio Senate voted Thursday to prohibit ranked choice voting in statewide elections and withhold state funding for governments that try it at the local level. The bill now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine, who seemed favorable to the idea when asked earlier in the week.

And at this point, won't the House over ride DeWine if he vetoes anything? He's a lame lame lame duck, right?

@FallsMom Once it left the House it went to the Senate, which passed it 24 to 7. I think a pretty good indication is they would override it. I am just amazed at the speed this bill made.

@paul

states that want us to be voting AGAINST a person we don't like, rather than voting FOR persons we do like 🤷
