Ohio House to vote on controversial constitutional amendment proposal.
The Ohio House is set to vote on Senate Joint Resolution 2, which would require a 60% supermajority to approve future constitutional changes, making it harder for proposed amendments to qualify for the ballot. The debate around the measure has emerged as a proxy fight over abortion rights in Ohio, since Republicans are fast-tracking it specifically to try to sabotage a potential abortion-rights ballot issue in November. The new signature-gathering rules wouldn’t go into effect until 2024.
