The Columbus Dispatch released new poll numbers on the four Reform Ohio Now amendments. As expected, State Issues 2 & 3 (absentee and contributions) appear in position to pass quite easily. State Issue Five (SoS) has lost some ground, but remains within the margin of error. Sadly, State Issue Four (redistricting) is trailing by a wide margin and has slipped since the last CD poll. The glimmer of hope remains in the high number of undecideds.
Two more days. There is still a great need for volunteers. If you are from Ohio, or a neighboring state, you can get involved with Reform Ohio Now by clicking here.

We've always known that two of the four would pass easily. It would be nice to get number five, but to be honest, I am not that concerned about that one. The biggie is number four, and I'll be honest, it saddens me to see it trail by such a wide margin.
