Singer John Legend Takes His Lefty Campaign To Ohio To Oppose Majority Rule

  • Musician John Legend, a resident of West Hollywood, Calif., is campaigning this week against an Ohio ballot initiative that would require petition-based statewide constitutional amendments to pass with 60 percent of the vote, not simple majorities.
  • The rally at which Legend will appear is being held by One Person One Vote, a coalition of left-leaning advocacy groups that oppose Issue 1.
  • Other groups opposing Issue 1 include Black Lives Matter Cleveland, Black Lives Matter Dayton, Pro-Choice Ohio, Black Out and Proud, the Cleveland Bi+ Network, Columbus New Liberals, Democrat Socialists of America-Cleveland, Ensuring Parole for Incarcerated Citizens, New Voices for Reproductive Justice, the Ohio Federation of Teachers, and the Ohio Communist Party.
  • Supporters of Issue 1 include U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Gov. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) and Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R-Ohio).
