Ballot Issues and Voting Policies with The League of Women Voters
We welcome Jen Miller, the Executive Director of the League of Women Voters Ohio. This episode covers a breadth of pressing topics related to our democratic process and highlights actionable steps to improve voter engagement and electoral fairness.
Key Takeaways:
- Bipartisan Collaboration and Proposal for Fair Representation: Jen Miller highlights the proposal of a balanced commission including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, aiming to remove self-interest by excluding politicians and lobbyists from the redistricting process.
- Transparency and Accountability: The discussion stresses the need for transparency in political campaign financing and electoral processes. Knowing the origins of campaign funding and having fair district maps are crucial for a responsive legislative system.
- Voter Education and Engagement: The importance of voter education is underscored, with resources such as vote411.org provided to help voters stay informed. Jen emphasizes the necessity of understanding voter ID requirements, creating voting plans, and the value of being active poll workers to support our democracy.
Learn more about how we can collectively work towards a more inclusive and representative electoral system. Your voice matters, and together we can drive the change needed for a better tomorrow. 🌟
