Big Issue's on Ohio's ballot today.
Report what you are hearing regarding Issue 2, the union over-haul bill and the health care law.
Maybe this can be moved to Front Page or Breaking news later today as it gets closer to polling precincts to start early reporting ?
It’s not looking good statewide. My city will be a solid YES, but that’s a result of affluent, educated residents.
After NO wins, then what happens?
In my middle class neighborhood is a solid YES too. (Broadview Heights, Ohio).
The poll workers said they got slammed between 6-7 a.m. (working folk)
Same info here. I'm in Cuyahoga County, and IF the City of Cleveland gets any kind of turnout, plus the Union fools who have no jobs (the Unions priced themselves out of the auto plant business here), but they still are PRO-UNION, even though they are un-employed, PLUS, every Teacher, Fireman, Policeman, and City, County, and State worker will vote NO....
The ONLY hope for passage of Issue 2 is that TAXPAYERS turn out heavily to the Polls. The weather is outstanding, so I expect a 30%-35% turnout; the BIGGER, the better for Passage.
My wife and I both voted YES!
Ohio Issue 2: Defeat May Not Be End of Collective Bargaining Law

I just got back from voting at 4:00 and I was #360 at my polling place. Didn’t seem any crowded than usual. Did see one union smoker using the ash tube thingy outside the polling place door and I told him to get back from the entrance.
I heard on the radio that Kasich may bring it back next year if it goes down.
I also heard a commercial from a firefighter union talking puke about when it goes down, they’re going to shove it down Kasich’s throat.
REAL freakin’ nice there a$$hat.

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
hate to give Huff n stuff a counter hit but I’m opening a new browser to read it. LOL
My understanding is that they’ll just pass SB5 in increments if Issue 2 fails.
Or they could just lay off a crap-load of public union workers.
I’m fine with either solution...
Come on, all of you Buckeye, Freepers!!!!
Get out their and vote down these organized Mobs!
The nation is counting on you to set the stage!
Staying home is NOT an option!!!!

Dear Mr. Glenn,
As Veteran's Day approaches, please allow me, a humble Citizen of the United States to say to you, a Marine and National Hero, Thank you for your service to our country
I saw you on television recently endorsing a NO vote on Ohio Issue 2. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Law Enforcement and our First Responders. It grieves me to see them, (and you), stand shoulder to shoulder with such others against Issue 2 as Van Jones, a self-avowed Communist and disgraced Presidential adviser under Barack Obama. You can find similar thinking in the People's World, who ...enjoy a special relationship with the Communist Party USA..., and publish its news and views. If one is willing to do a little research, one can find out that the unions against Issue 2 such as the SEIU and AFSCME are infested at their highest levels with Communists and Socialists.
I recently got a RoboCall from Governor Sarah Palin. She is FOR Issue 2, as are virtually all of the Tea Party Patriots I know. I stand with my fellow American Patriots in favor of Issue 2. Why do you stand with the enemies of our country? The Democrat party that you represented when you were first elected to the Senate in 1974 no longer exists. Why then, do you still support a party and it's policies that are so detrimental to our Nation?
Again, our Country owes an enormous debt to all who served and most especially those who gave their last full measure of devotion to her. They fought and died for The Republic that is now under such a grievous attack from alien philosophies. A great majority of those groups who have spent so much money and time attacking Issue 2 espouse such philosophies.
A man is known by the company he keeps. I cannot believe that a Patriot and a Veteran such as yourself would knowingly align himself with the NO on 2 groups if he knew the real truth behind their makeup.
May I count on your future support of Issue 2 now that the facts have been made known to you?.
Best regards.
A FREE Citizen Patriot
Good letter.
Ditto x a gazillion
Amazing amazing letter.
Well stated .

Gracious Lord, please be with all of the Ohio voters today as they head to the polls. Keep them safe to and fro. Lord, we ask you that you give them your magnificent wisdom and disernment , to see through the lies of the enemy. And we ask that you give Ohio a massive victory today.
AMEN
someone ping the Ohio list? (I dont have it)
Summit county - Sagamore Hills here.
When I voted about 2 there were not many who had voted yet in our precincts.
There is the school levy on the ballot for the (lost count) time. Always having special elections.
I am worried about 2. Union Thug money to lie & propagandize
