The four constitutional amendments on Tuesday's ballot in Republican-dominated Ohio would expand voting by mail, limit campaign contributions and create bipartisan boards to draw districts and oversee elections -- jobs now done by politicians. The amendments were proposed by Democratic-leaning groups.
Reform Ohio Now, a coalition of union and citizens groups that backs the amendments, has raised $2 million overall in donations and services, including nearly 3,300 contributions of $500 or less from all 50 states. A third of its money, $629,750, came from People for the American Way in Washington.
Many of the donations poured in after a nationwide e-mail alert in late September from moveon.org, a liberal advocacy group that campaigned heavily against Bush.

A mid-October poll indicated Ohio voters supported the absentee-voting and campaign-finance questions.
Ohio First, a mainly Republican group opposed to the ballot measures, has raised $2.2 million, most of it from business and professional interests. All but seven of its 170 donations were from Ohio.
David Hopcraft, spokesman for the group, said he was surprised to see so many out-of-state donations to the amendment supporters.
"The point is that they're not from Ohio," he said. "They're people who think somehow Ohioans don't have it right, and Ohioans don't share that opinion."

Kerry lost, so let's change the damn rules to stack it against Republicans next time... I hate liberals so much.
It's gotta' be the dope ~ can't be that they are simply stupid.
Don't you love how the Left is always still fighting the last war, or, for that matter, the third or fourth to the last war?
But do theses same people favor the same thing in Califoria?
I didn't think so.
They only want "reform" in places they lost.
Lifelong Independent Voter AND a Viet Nam Vet
helping the Republican Party, again,
just like on Nov 2 2004
Honorable Viet Nam Vet's
ALWAYS do what's best for their country,
including calling for the outing a of traitor
in the US Senate.
Honorable Viet Nam Vet's
do what's needed to protect President Bush
from attacks from the traitor and his followers.
There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate
He is there illegally!
WAKEUP AMERICA!
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen
Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

And the FBI has proof of his treason.
Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files
May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.
(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

I live in Ohio, I vote in Ohio (and I actually do know how to operate the machine), and they're goin down. Nobody asked me by the way. Go Buckeyes!!!!!!
When RATS win elections, everything is hunky dory. When Republicans win elections ''we cheated''!
Maybe, but I think that the Dems are just so mad that Kenneth Blackwell stood his ground. They lost and they just can't accept it.
Liberals are very much like the school children I teach.
The Confederates tried to reform Ohio too and were unsuccessful. I don't expect near the effort out of this bunch of limp-wristed twerps.
I live in Ohio
I was not going to vote until I researched these amendments
Soros has funded the four amendments that are in question
I am voting NO on all four
Good luck. I hope conservatives get out the votes and defeat these damned commies.
They target these off-year elections when the union vote won't be diluted.
Good luck.
