Ohio Supreme Court: State must fix language describing August supermajority question

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Ballot Board is set to reconvene Tuesday after the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the panel back to work to fix misleading language describing an August ballot proposal aimed at making it more difficult to amend the state constitution.

Justices ruled unanimously Monday against two elements of the wording, but allowed the Republican-controlled board to keep saying the measure will be “elevating” Ohio’s constitutional standards.

One Person One Vote, the opposition campaign, had argued that “raising” or “heightening” would have been a more neutral verb.

The high court’s four Republicans disagreed, with its three Democrats dissenting.
