Here's the preliminary Ohio Issue 2 map. All but 15 counties are all the way in, but most of those 15 are mostly in. The only county I'd worry about maybe changing on this map is Delaware County. I'll update it if it does.
Fascinating, really fascinating. The general pattern seems to be more about class than partisan identity - or even historical partisan identity. Diolch!
Southern Ohio, making me damn proud for a change.
It does seem to be more about class than partisan identity, but there certainly is some partisan identity element to it as well. It carried Holmes, Mercer, Shelby Counties as well as the suburban Warren and Delaware Counties. It seems the Amish must have voted for it, as well as parts of the upper Miami Valley.
But yeah, it more or less went down in flames as expected. I don’t think anyone could honestly have said they expected
this to pass. I have to wonder—what is the Ohio GOP thinking? They give us three issues to vote on this year: a judicial reform issue no one understands, a labor reform issue no one wants, and a symbolic healthcare issue that doesn’t do anything.
