Ohio Supreme Court overrules AG Yost, allowing voting rights petition to proceed.

The Ohio Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Attorney General Dave Yost, stating he overstepped his authority by rejecting the "Ohio Voters Bill of Rights" amendment petition based solely on its title. The court clarified that Yost can only assess the petition's summary for fairness and accuracy. This decision allows civil rights groups to proceed with their ballot initiative aimed at addressing recent voting law changes in Ohio. Yost must revisit his decision within 10 days.
