We won\u2019t call it a loss, because it wasn\u2019t a fair fight. We didn\u2019t lose the contest over ideas and policies, we lost because one side decided to trick voters into voting the opposite way from what they actually wanted. When Sec. of State Frank LaRose and the Ballot Board wrote ballot language to deceive voters, they must have known they couldn\u2019t win in a fair fight.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be a lie to say that this doesn\u2019t hurt \u2013 it hurts a lot! But we are also immensely proud and grateful for the work put in by thousands of redistricting reform advocates and volunteers all across Ohio. Your tireless, selfless, and meaningful work is what continues to give us hope for democracy.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outcome of this election is sadly an illustration of why ending gerrymandering is a prerequisite for any other democracy reform: it\u2019s nearly impossible to make progress when the people who draw rigged voting districts are in charge.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s still so much democracy work to be done in Ohio. We look forward to working with you on fair elections, dark money, voting access, and so much more.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for all you have done this year, and for all your do every day,<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catherine Turcer, Mia Lewis, Kelly Dufour, and CJ Wilson, the Common Cause Ohio Team<\/span>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
