MEANWHILE, IN IOWA

I told you that you couldn't unhinge your jaw to swallow your prey whole!

Some quotes from a local article, worth the read in full though. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2023/08/08/ohio-issue-1-special-electionresults-voters-decide-tuesday-on-august-8-ballot-issue/70487461007/

me, Ohio state-level politics is an absolute shit show on the top tier of disproportionate partisan control (a moderate right-leaning state governed like its Idaho) where the gerrymandered supermajorities don't feel beholden to anyone but their caucuses to the point where they openly flout the courts, the governor, and the voters. that attitude is why they thought they could get away with this.

Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected a GOP-led referendum to make it harder to approve a state constitutional amendment. There's a ballot initiative coming up to protect abortion in the state constitution (which all polling indicates will pass in the high 50s), so this would have upped the bare majority requirement to 60% to prevent the amendment from hitting that threshold because they weren't honest when they said "let the states decide". https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/08/ohio-constitution-abortion-voting-00110394

The challenge is to do his job for him and come up with an interesting challenge.

#3 means he is imposing the actual limitations he had coming up with game challenges (to make them accessible to anyone) on the finale contestants for their fake challenge submissions.

welcome back, fam

true to life

It's a rational argument, but give that a number of states have had similar requirements for decades (and *cough* the political implications) I can't see the current SCOTUS siding with him.
