Ohio Monday, July 2, 2012 Voters first approaches its first big deadline Libertarians join liberals, saying the two major parties have too much power by WKSU's M.L. SCHULTZE |
 Web Editor M.L. Schultze | | |
| Critics are still angry about Ohio’s new maps for Congressional and Statehouse districts draw up by Republicans last year. So they’re gathering signatures for the Voters First amendment, which would take the process out of the hands of the two major political parties.
If voters were to OK the amendment, a 12-member citizens commission would draw the boundaries. And while many of the groups in the coalition lean left, the Voters First campaign is also boosted by the Libertarian Party of Ohio, and its executive committee chairman, Kevin Knedler. |
“It’s the right thing to do. Take the mantle of Libertarian Party chair away from me -- as a citizen we have to do this. This is out of control, what we have with two parties colluding with each other to prevent competition, prevent voter rights.”
The Voters First coalition has until Wednesday to collect 386-thousand signatures to get the amendment onto this fall’s ballot. The last time voters were asked to change the way the maps are drawn was in 2005, as part of a sweeping package of election and campaign finance law reforms. All were rejected.
