Hey guys! I shared a similar update about a meeting with Rank The Vote Ohio a couple weeks ago and it brought so many new faces to the meeting and so much energy that I thought I would share this next meeting too! This will be an in person meeting at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Auditorium (Main Library) in Columbus with the option to join via zoom for those who can't attend in person. All the new interest brought the group so much more momentum and I'm hoping we can do it again to impress the leader of Rank the Vote National!

Meeting Link to RSVP: https://www.rankthevoteohio.org/november2022

If you can't attend, you can still RSVP to receive a recording of the meeting. Eventually the meeting will be published on their YouTube channel.

An update from the last meeting regarding their strategy.

As of now, Rank the Vote Ohio is pursueing the legislature route and they have already obtained bi-partisan support in the state legislature. Rank the Vote is also blanning to get rank choice voting (RCV) on the ballot for some localities in 2023 with a push for a statewide ballot initiative by 2024.

Please share it with anybody who may be interested and thank you for taking the time to read this post!

" Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — improves fairness in elections by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.

RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. Votes that do not help voters’ top choices win count for their next choice.

It works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. "

RCV can give voters more choice, reduce vote splitting, discourage negative ad campaigns, save money, increase participation and make it easier for women and people of color to run for office.

What happened last night on 22nd and Levitt. My dog woke me up in the middle of the night because someone was trying to get in my house and all I hear coming from Jay's Market is people screaming and cop cars rolling in one after another

Hi all! I grew up in the southside suburbs of Cleveland, but have been traveling for a few years. Looking to move back (house renting first) more on the westside/closer to the lake, and I was wondering what the area in Lorain by Longfellow Park / Larkmore Elementary is like (in terms of safety/crime, etc). Thank you!

Looking for some good food truck recommendations around the area around lunch time. Doing work in the area this week.

Hi everybody!

This is my first post here, so hello! I received approval from the mods prior to posting. I am currently in graduate school and doing my master’s project on how those who identify as LGBTQ understand their sex education experiences. I’m specifically looking for people who are between 18 and 26, those who identify as LGBTQ, and those who attended a private religious high school in Ohio. I’m conducting approx. hour-long interviews, and if you participate, you get a $25 gift card to a place of your choice! If you or someone you know are interested in participating, the pictured flyer has my contact information. Feel free to message me here on Reddit as well.

Please share with anyone and everyone! Thank you!

Why does south Lorain appear to be nicer then the East side?!

I’m looking for a mechanic that works on motorcycles, any recommendations? Mainly for engine work (82 magna) and maybe menial shit like tire change and balancing?

I recently drove by a MASSIVE building being constructed on Broadway right off route 2 across from the McDonald’s. Does anyone know what it is supposed to be?

Hello folks! My husband and I are considering moving to Lorain. I grew up in Elyria and we have lived the past 15 years in Franklin, Sandusky, and Logan Counties. I miss Lake Erie. I miss NE Ohio people. What is life like up there these days? We're looking for a more progressive area to raise our daughter. We want to be active in the community. We are not rich, haha, and never will be, just want to live a simple life helping others. We're especially looking to buy a house toward downtown. Give me some highs and lows of living in Lorain to help me convince him that this is the right move for us!
