Good news, for now. Ohio's presidential votes will not be counted in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact but will continue to cast those votes in the Electoral College. Cleveland.com reports:
Organizers have aborted their
attempt to change Ohio’s constitution to award the state’s presidential
electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of who
wins Ohio.
J. Corey Colombo, a Columbus
elections attorney working for the organizers behind the proposal, wrote a
brief letter to Secretary of State Frank LaRose on Tuesday saying the group is
withdrawing its petitions. The letter (click here for
a PDF) did not offer an explanation, but Colombo’s law firm later issued a
statement citing time constraints and the large number of signatures required
to get the issue on the ballot.
Full report is here.
