Events
Ohio voters will determine which Republicans and Democrats will be on the 2024 November general election ballot on the March 19 primary. A race Ohioans may not be as familiar with is the state Supreme Court race of which there will be three races this year. The Ohio Supreme Court races have implications for the future rights of Ohioans, according to the Ohio Capital Journal. The Columbus Dispatch reported that the Ohio Supreme Court “will likely decide how the new abortion rights constitutional amendment should be interpreted.”
