Ohio attorney general rejects voting-rights coalition's ballot petition for a 2nd time

Rejected because of the title of the petition

>Yost found the amendment's title — “Ohio Voters Bill of Rights” — was “highly misleading and misrepresentative” of the measure's contents, even as he acknowledged that his office had previously certified identical language. It certified a Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2021 and another Ohio Voters Bill of Rights in 2014.
