Ohio Rejects Effort To Revise Election Practices
Ohio voters rejected a package of election revision measures yesterday that were inspired by President Bush's disputed re-election victory in the state last year.
The initiatives, backed by Democrats, labor unions, government reform organizations and the Internet-fueled activist group MoveOn.org, would have stripped the secretary of state's office of the authority to conduct elections and made it much easier to vote absentee. The package also included strict new limits on campaign contributions and the creation of an independent panel to redraw legislative district lines.
The current redistricting commission is dominated by Republicans, who have drawn the boundaries to maintain their majorities in the General Assembly and in the state's Congressional delegation. The new law would have required the panel to make districts as competitive as possible.
===================================================================this year at least no tears for me, still disappointing though!

i guess at least it won't get worse. But it does blow that NONE of them passed. How bizarre.
addendum, it is bizarre because I only voted on issues and i voted yes. why aren't there more people like me? ;)
i did the same over here. i voted at the same time of day i did last year and i was the only person in there this year whereas last year there was a line out the door. oh well.
