They instantly discounted those signatures too. They didn't have anywhere near enough time to even read all the signatures let alone verify if they were eligible or not. IIRC the articles I read said that it was within minutes of receiving the signatures that they made their ruling. Its just another stall tactic.
They fucked up. They didn't have enough verified signatures, then they missed the deadline to re-submit, then they let the GOP leaders push them around and delay the vote possibility a year.
They didn’t fuck up, the corrupt local Republicans decided they don’t give a fuck about the will of the people and decided they’d prefer to continue to line their pockets. Goddamn this state is a shithole.
They chose to keep the first round of signatures and get it on 2023. Or the other choice was they scrap all the signatures and start back at 0 and have wasted over $1million.
Yeah, this was not a fuck up as much as it was them being backed into a corner. It's bad when the party controlling the election aparatus and legislature (super marjority) have come out publicly saying they will do literally anything to stop you. They've probably spent millions and millions to get to this point knowing this was a possibility.
No what happened is republicans don’t want it on the midterm ballot because it would increase turn out which in is bad for them.
They didn't fuck up, they had over 80k signatures disallowed and a legislature which was determined to keep it off the midterm ballot.

When the GOP is running things....everything goes backwards, Dewine will never allow rec EVER
Agree.
And he will be re elected.
Wait, weed is illegal still?
decriminalized since the 70's but muh reasons
Repubs didn't want voted out. Legalization group did nothing wrong
Ohio will never be legalized until its federal
I think you’re right. Ohio, being a swing state, wouldn’t want to upset the apple cart.
Agree.

Fuck ohio , go to Michigan an get all the deals, even shut in ohio is waaayyyyy overpriced... 10ths? Tf is that?
This was typical republican shit so they can keep voter turnout low and not upset the status quo in the state.
At least it’s coming
…if the GOP doesn’t ambush it again and they get enough signatures.
They had an opportunity to fight it out in court and potentially get it on the ballot for 2022.

if voting was effective, they would make it illegal...
down vote that?
