Weird thing about Ohio. Despite being a red state, issues that are associated with the Democrats do well in statewide elections. I concede that the recreational marijuana transcends party lines somewhat but reproductive rights lands in the blue. Ten years ago Kasich's law ending collective bargaining for public employees was overturned in a state election. Anti-gerrymandering laws pass too. If Democrat candidates can't win state offices but their ideas pass that tells me the party needs to work on their messaging
