Does, uh...anyone have the *text* of this amendment?
It is - in a shock to literally no one who follows Statehouse politics - not listed online, so Ohioans have no idea what language is included here or what the impact is of the amendment to this otherwise unrelated bill!

Didn't the congressional map bill passed in Nov 2021 ALREADY move the congressional candidate filing deadline to March 4? This is a moot point.
The deadline that needs to move is for *state leg* candidates...

EVEN IF the Ct upholds this latest partisan gerrymander of our state leg maps, the earliest they could do that is prob next Monday (1/31), just TWO DAYS before the current filing deadline.
How does that make any logistic (let alone accessibility) sense?

THANK U, @DrVernonSykes
for asking this VERY IMPORTANT question about what happens - in the NOT so off chance - that the Ct drops a final decision on the maps after the filing deadline.
Clearly the GOP didn't think about this at all so...recess time!

Link to HB 93 amendment below (h/t @AndrewJTobias), but basically what they're going to allow is for candidates to have gathered sigs from the maps that were INVALIDATED by the Ct submit those basically no matter what the new districts look like. 🤯🤯

In other words, the GOP is setting up the reality that a candidate for US House, the Ohio Senate, or Ohio House can file petitions with signatures from voters WHO ARE NO LONGER IN THEIR DISTRICT in order to run for office.
That is...outrageous!! Just move back all the deadlines!

FWIW, a candidate for US House, Ohio House, or Ohio Senate needs just FIFTY valid signatures to get on the ballot.
Y'all mean to tell me you can't find 50 ppl in the NEW districts who support your candidacy?!?!
