    Which shows how useless it is for the Ohio Republicans to be dragging their feet.

    Dragging feet is Ohio Republicans favorite pastime:

    • School funding model ruled unconstitutional? Ohio Republicans (who hold both the legislature and Governors office) simply ignore it for literally 30 years now source
    • Republican drawn Congressional districts ruled gerrymanderred by the Ohio Supreme court requiring redrawing. Ohio Republicans simply draw another gerrymandered version, and sit on it until the election forcing a gerrymandered disctrict map to be used. And the GOP won maintaining control source
    • Republicans violate their own rule to run out-of-ban special election to try to change the rules on State Ballot Referrendum trying to make it too hard to pass with just voter efforts. source
    • After voters get a Reproductive rights constitutional amendment on the ballot, Republican Attorney General change the wording of the language to make it more inflammatory. source
    • Ohio voters successfully amended the state consitution to include the reproductive rights amendment (including legal protections to allow a woman to have an abortion) and the Republican AG is challenging nearly every part of the constitutional amendment. “He slow walks every single constitutional challenge to every single Republican statute still on the books that interferes with abortion access by erecting unnecessary government barriers between a woman and her right to an abortion.” source
