As ads run through the Nov. 8 general elections, the website will encourage voters to \u201cfollow the money\u201d and identify \u201cdark money\u201d ads. The Judge the Ads website also provides information about the role of the Ohio Supreme Court and has tips for voters on how to learn about the candidates beyond political advertisements.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWithout transparency about who is paying for political ads, dark money groups can unduly impact the electorate,\u201d said <\/span><b>Catherine Turcer, Common Cause Ohio executive director.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cThe Judge the Ads campaign will help arm voters with basic information so they can properly identify the type of ad they are seeing or received in the mail. With three judicial seats \u2014 including the chief justice seat \u2014 up for grabs, it is important Ohioans are properly informed about the candidates and to make sure this election is in the people\u2019s hands.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously, Ohio judges were nominated in partisan primaries, but listed as nonpartisan in the general election. This year, however, the Ohio Supreme Court elections will be partisan, with each candidate\u2019s political party labeled on the ballot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Judge the Ads website can be found <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/judgetheads.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\r\n<\/span>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
