8. I'd like to say it can't get worse but would never temp the gods!

Last year 57% of the Ohio voters voted to protect women’s reproductive rights into our Constitution! It took our state representatives over a year to implement it and I can not tell you for certain the verbiage that they decided on. They are crooks and there should have been no post election debate. We passed legislation to fix the gerrymandering and then they fought the results of the committee work to the Ohio Supreme Ct. and then we did all of the work to put anti gerrymandering back on the ballot again this fall and they changed the issue yes means no and no means yes and we lost. The voters aren’t 100% stupid but the solid R gerrymandered State government is rotten and manipulative. That is why we are where we are. Basically our votes don’t count and now we have two red senators. Something that hasn’t happened in decades. We have many hard working Dems and a strong League of Women Voters but I think people are getting pretty hopeless in light of T back in the WH And no senator to call.
