34] –.On Wed., July 26 at 8 PM ET, join an Ohio Volunteer Voter Outreach Text Bank. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/571657/?followup_modal_context=nonexclusive_newsletter_most_popular_virtual. Join Vote Forward, Stand up America, and volunteers across the country in writing letters to voters in Ohio ahead of the special election happening on August 8. Democracy is on the ballot in Ohio this summer. Ohio's Republican-controlled state legislature has been using their gerrymandered super-majority to pass legislation restricting abortion access and making it harder for Ohioans to vote. Now, they have triggered an August special election—which historically see lower voter turnout—on a proposed constitutional amendment that will reduce the power of Ohioans' votes and weaken the state's democracy. Their proposed amendment would raise the threshold to pass ballot initiatives from a simple majority of the vote to 60% of the vote. That would mean that popular initiatives—like a proposed amendment to protect abortion access in Ohio—could potentially fail even if the majority of Ohio voters support them.
