Besides the selection of Pro-Life candidates, Ohio will decide the fate of Issue 1 which proposes to change the way congressional district boundaries are drawn. Pro-Life organizations like Ohio Christion Alliance and Center for Christian Virtue recommend a “NO on Issue 1” vote.
The Ohio Christian Alliance argument summarizing the problems with this issue can be found here. The Center for Christian Virtue PDF explaining current redistricting process, what the Issue 1 changes are, and why they are a bad idea can be found here.
And here is a good video with Vivek Ramaswamy explaining why Issue 1 is Bad for Ohio!!
