We’ve known they’ve been doing this since at least Snowden, what’s the story?
They’ve been doing this since the 1950s, younger generations just didn’t realize the scope until Snowden.

It was always part of Issue 1. The 3 big changes for issue 1 were:
Change the number of counties requiring signatures for ballot measures from 44 (half the counties in Ohio) to 88 (all of the counties in Ohio). If I remember correctly, that’s 5000 signatures from each county.
Remove petition curing period so that if some counties fell short of the required number of signatures or if some signatures were rejected or disputed for whatever reason, there would be no time to get more. I think the current curing period is a week.
Require a super-majority (60%) for a ballot measure to pass, rather than a simple majority (>50%).
To me, the least troubling of these was the super-majority part that’s been so hyped up, because the first 2 changes would have made it near impossible for voter-led initiatives to even get on the ballot to begin with. The only ballot measures we’d ever have a chance to vote on would be whatever the state house deemed worthy. All to prevent a ballot measure this November that would allow abortions for non-viable fetuses.
You sure it’s a USAF F-35 and not a USMC F-35B?
