So did they make educated votes or vote because they are union and had too and don’t contribute they’re union loyality to racial wars incited by Obama of black people pulling white people out of they’re cars and beating the crap out of them?Or they just want to be like Ca.? and very broke?
Or they misunderstood how to vote?
Or Obama SEIU and Hoffa cheated?
Or they believed that firefighters and teachers would lose jobs and no safety would entail and all puppies and kittens would be killed?
Those Firefighters and Teachers most certainly will lose their jobs now.
The unions demagogued the issue by scaring voters into thinking there won’t be enough cops and firefighters if the Issue 2 passed. On a good note, Issue 3 to reject Obamacare is being passed by a wide margin.
Or they believed that firefighters and teachers would lose jobs and no safety would entail and all puppies and kittens would be killed?

The massive fear mongering was endless and brutal.
The language on the ballot was very clear as in : do you want to keep the law ?
Yes if you want to keep
No if you want to repeal
My opinion is that people listened to the fear mongering first and foremost
The voters support the concept with 57% in polls. However, the legislature passed the law in one big package. Kasich wanted it passed in bits and pieces. So the repeal was the law that passed in one big package. It is confusing to voters and anything they don't fully understand, they vote "no".
Then the Sec of State (a Repub) agreed that the vote to repeal the law would be a "no" vote - the go to vote for the confused voter. Kasich had urged the Sec. of State to make the "yes" vote the one to repeal the law. The Sec of State said he was trying to be fair.
Anyway, National Review does a great job of explaining how the Repubs botched this from the beginning.
Voters are really clueless. It is a wonder that we have come this far as a country concerning the voters populating the fruited plain.
By the way, I love your tag line.
Actually, it’s not your tag line, but your handle.
I live here. Lawn signs, t-shirts, facebook posts are everywhere saying “No on 2.” No one put up “Yes on 2” signs, because people fear the union goons.
People were told that “No on 2” supports police, fire and teachers. Ads here suggest that you would lose police and fire protection if you vote yes.
Plus most everyone here is somehow attached to some union, if not directly, then in their parents’ history. They don’t distinguish between public and private workers’ unions at all.
Yep. The ads for issue 2 here in Ohio were numerous, ominous and devoid of any real information, just what the general populace needed to make an emotion-based decision on something most know nothing about.
At least we said no to Obamacare.
