Boobski@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Pew: Even amid high turnout, less than 40% of Americans voted in all three most recent national elections

1 year agoI’m also a woman from Ohio and a little worried about how few people I’ve talked to recently are aware of/ understand the magnitude of the upcoming special election.
For anyone who’s interested: https://www.commoncause.org/ohio/democracy-wire/background-on-issue-1/
Issue 1 would essentially take away majority representation in the state and only allow for special-interest and more polarized issues to come through.
As an Ohioan I’ve been so incredibly stressed about this special election. If it passes, I fully believe it will be the reason for an increasingly polarized state where only the special interests get the spotlight and any kind of grassroots efforts from the actual populace won’t have any chance of success.
