'This is the greatest front to democracy': Ohio politicians, early voters weigh in on Issue 1

[RandySF]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Early voting for Ohio's special election kicked off on Tuesday, and officials in Franklin County said they expect to see about 20% of registered voters participate in the election.

Democratic leaders stood together outside of the Franklin County Board of Elections on Tuesday. They all want one thing: for people to vote "no" on Issue 1.

“This is the greatest front to democracy in the state of Ohio history and the most important thing you’ve voted on in your entire life. Make no mistake about it,” said Emmanuel Remy, Columbus city councilmember.

Mayor Andrew Ginther said putting Issue 1 on the ballot is bad for workers, women, and democracy. He believes the people of Ohio won’t let it pass.

“This is an attempt to take away the will of the people. Voters rights. It’s undemocratic, un-American and the people of Ohio will deem it unacceptable starting today,” said Ginther.

I wonder if somehow they'll try to overturn the election results.

3. Isn't this headline supposed to read the greatest "affront" to democracy? I don't understand what a

"front" to democracy means.

4. Yes you are correct Martin68

Unfortunately too many contributors are not all that familiar with English. I am a little surprised that RandySF is one of them.

6. Right, I checked and saw that. I wasn't criticizing the poster, just asking if it was a mistake.
