Hendershot, Stephen P. Carney, OFFICE OF THE OHIO ATTOR- NEY GENERAL, Columbus, Ohio, for Appellant. Mark R. Brown, CAPITAL UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL, Columbus, Ohio, Mark G. Kafantaris, Columbus, Ohio, for Appellees. WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the court in which CLAY, J., joined, and BUSH, J., joined in part. BUSH, J. (pp. 15–26), delivered a separate opinion concurring in part and in the judgment. OPINION HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs William T. Schmitt and Chad Thompson submitted proposed ballot initiatives to the Portage County Board of Elections that would effectively decriminal- ize marijuana possession in the Ohio villages of Garrettsville and Windham. The Board declined to certify the proposed initiatives after concluding that the initiatives fell outside the scope of the municipali- ties’ legislative authority. Plaintiffs then brought this action asserting that the statutes governing Ohio’s municipal ballot-initiative process impose a prior restraint on their political speech, violating their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

    2014 POST-ELECTION ANALYSIS: OHIO TABLE OF CONTENTS STATE OVERVIEW 2 Registration Overview 3 Turnout Analysis 4 Absentee/Early Voting 4 Regional Analysis 5 Election Law Impacts 6 Exit Polling 6 GOVERNOR 11 Media Spending Analysis 13 Geographic Analysis 15 SECRETARY OF STATE 17 Media Spending Analysis 18 Geographic Analysis 21 STATE LEGISLATURE 22 State Senate 22 State House 23 Consequences 24 STATE OVERVIEW Going into 2014, Ohio was expected to be a major battleground in the election cycle, particularly in state elections, with a key gubernatorial race and several potentially competitive down-ballot constitutional matchups. The anticipated matchup between Republican incumbent Governor John Kasich and Democratic Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald was expected to be one of the most competitive gubernatorial races of 2014. Democrats also landed top-tier candidates for down- ballot statewide races; notably, state Senator Nina Turner and state Representative Connie Pillich launched bids for secretary of state and treasurer, respectively.1 Democrats were presented with fewer opportunities at the congressional and legislative level in 2014. The 2010 decennial redistricting process, which Republicans controlled, locked in safe districts for many Republican incumbents, leaving only a small number of competitive congressional and General Assembly districts.2 OH-14 and OH-06, represented by Republican incumbents David Joyce and Bill Johnson, respectively, are potentially competitive districts, but they did not attract significant competition

  • Elections; Joint Operating Agreements JEL: L82, D72, K21, N82
    Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Research Department Staff Report 474 September 2012 Do Newspapers Matter? Short-Run and Long-Run Evidence from the Closure of The Cincinnati Post ∗ Sam Schulhofer-Wohl Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Miguel Garrido Edgeworth Economics ABSTRACT The Cincinnati Post published its last edition on New Year's Eve 2007, leaving the Cincinnati En- quirer as the only daily newspaper in the market. The next year, fewer candidates ran for municipal office in the Kentucky suburbs most reliant on the Post, incumbents became more likely to win re- election, and voter turnout and campaign spending fell. These changes happened even though the Enquirer at least temporarily increased its coverage of the Post's former strongholds. Voter turnout remained depressed through 2010, nearly three years after the Post closed, but the other effects diminished with time. We exploit a difference-in-differences strategy and the fact that the Post's closing date was fixed 30 years in advance to rule out some noncausal explanations for our results. Although our findings are statistically imprecise, they suggest that newspapers | even underdogs such as the Post, which had a circulation of just 27,000 when it closed | can have a substantial and measurable impact on public life. Keywords: Newspapers; Elections; Joint operating agreements JEL: L82, D72, K21, N82 ∗We are grateful to employees of The Cincinnati Post and the E.W. Scripps Company, several of whom requested anonymity, for helpful conversations. They are not responsible in any way for the content of this paper.
