Meanwhile, GOP and Democrat former AGs line up against the effort
COLUMBUS, Ohio — MARCH 22: State Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville, speaks to reporters after the House Constitutional Resolutions committee meeting first hearing on HJR 1 that would require 60% vote to approve any constitutional amendment, March 22, 2023, at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of five former attorneys general on Monday added their names to a swelling group that is opposed to the move. They join four former governors — two Republicans and two Democrats — more than 200 groups of all political stripes, and a group representing the state’s election workers that have all come out in opposition to the August election plan.
Despite the positions taken by former officeholders, it appears that most of the Republicans who have power now — those in the legislature and in statewide office — support restricting citizen access to the state’s fundamental document.
