Are you kidding? There will be a special legislative session and a bill in his desk to repeal before the weekend is out.
They've already pissed off voters and embarrassed themselves with this whole Issue 1 failure. If this passes and they refuse to go along with it, 2024 is going to be that much more difficult for them.
I hope you are right but I'm not convinced they think that they made a mistake with issue 1. I know LaRose is trying to save face but all I've heard is blah blah blah, outside influence, and they needed more time to get the message out. They have to know, right?
That's just what they're putting into public statements. They know they fucked up. Even if you go along with their bullshit lines, they failed to protect the state from "outside interests", which from what I can tell just means "city folk".
Frank wants to run against Sherrod next year for Senator (or so I've heard), but now he's going to have a tougher primary because of this. This was supposed to be his major accomplishment to tout, but now he looks like he doesn't know what Ohioans want and can't get things passed.
I actually hope they DO nullify it, or least try hard enough to be noticed. It will seal their political fate.
