npub1tf489l2mm4jgjxs5s9anxfx40vt0ptt99ls8yfs00t3t8vjkjntq4cnzuj (npub1tf4…nzuj) Madison warned us against Issue One: the GOP plan to replace a 50.1% majority with 60% to amend the Ohio constitution.
If approved, "it would be no longer the majority that would rule; the power would be transferred to the minority” when it comes to passing laws or other measures, he said in Federalist 58.
Worse, Issue One + GOP gerrymandering together will put bad legislators and bad policies out of reach of the voting majority.
Issue One is tyranny of the minority in action.
