Does the law of Ohio allow a vote on having a simple majority to change a law? If so, that is fine with me.....about it being a law, I mean. Personally, I am not keen on a 'majority', myself. I absolutely detest mob rule. 66% is a nice percentage, I would think. (as to reproductibe rights, I will pass from now on on that subject. Abortion is none of my business... ...[text shortened]... ent to me. You obviously disagree with those of a republican bent?
Why don't you run for King?
The Wisconsin maps are an unconstitutional joke, assuring that Republicans control a comfortable majority of its 99 Assembly seats even when more voters in the State vote Democratic:

"In 2012, Republicans won 48.6% of
the statewide vote, which yielded a remarkable 60 assembly seats. Id. at 899.
When Democrats received roughly the same vote share, they carried 36 assembly
seats—“a 24 seat disparity.” Id. at 901. From the 2012 through the 2020 elections,
Republicans never fell below 60 seats—winning up to 64, or nearly two-thirds of
the seats. In 2018, Republicans won 63 seats with just 44.8% of the vote."

"In 2022,
the plans did precisely what Republicans hoped—increasing their majority to 64
assembly seats (two shy of a veto-proof two-thirds majority) and 22 senate seats (a
veto-proof majority). Only five Republican victories were by less than 55% of the
vote. On the same ballots, Democrats won three of the five statewide contests,
with the winners of all five contests receiving between 48.3% and 51.2% of the
vote. The two Republicans to win statewide garnered just 49.6% and 50.5% of the
vote. An equally divided electorate yielded near two-third majorities for
Republicans in both chambers.

Of course; you're not "keen on majority rule"; no right wingers are. You want to impose rules on the majority rather than have them decide for themselves.

So? Ignoring the law, as is the Weiss person, is being practiced as well. Nothing new, Zahlanzi.
Look, fool, you guys begged for a special counsel.

You got one.

Duh my point is that if I vote for Trump on the first day mail-ins or early voting begins, my vote will mean nothing if he ends up with a 600-yr prison sentence.

The Dem party does not care about what it is doing to our country, our system of justice, and our electoral process, Marauder. It is the 'State' party seeking to monopolize our politics, society and culture. Man, I hate the culture part.

Are you a moron?

"What it's doing" to our system is reassuring Americans that it still works. If you break the law, you pay the price, even if you are a billionaire.

let me ax you a question zalony...did biden swear to uphold the constitution and the laws of the US when he signed on as pres?
And so did Trump.

That is why fomenting an insurrection should make him ineligible for ANY elective office. He shouldn't even BE running.

You know, per the US Constitution.

Like Sonhouse, you make statements (an unconstitutinal joke) as if they are unqualifed truths, Makes a guy's head spin.
OK. Try this. The govt should forgive student loans, even that of AOC who is begging (as losers do) for it, while she has her $250K salary.
IN MY OPINION, and that of others (google and be amazed), I thnk that that is wrong. YOu think the gerrymander is wrong,
So just where do you think you are going with your edict other than to the lemmings on the Forum. It could be wrong, and then you would have a hell of a mess.
Get real. Why don't you just proclaim?

What do you mean by 'it'? The selection of a counsel which is forbiden by constitutional regulation? You need to close your post. All of you feller do that, Sueayn.
I do not understand what you meant. Thx

Must have been a computer error, sorry.
But since you brought her up, what is wrong with this philosophy which her character Howard Roark lives by? Please tell me, I promise to no insult you any more. Gotta know. I STRIVE for this philosophy. Why do you not, pray tell?

I agree. No one should vote until the first week in November. No mail ins except for military. We agree!!!

You think people should be allowed to blow up buildings they don't own? He does share your disdain for democracy and a belief that a few should rule over the many.

I'd bet a million dollars you never read The Fountainhead.
