Not really like the system working. More the opposite.

FTFA: “[he rejected it because the] proposed constitutional amendment’s title — “Ohio Voters Bill of Rights” — was “highly misleading and misrepresentative” of the measure’s contents. He issued the decision even while acknowledging that his office had previously certified identical language. It certified a Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2021 and another Ohio Voters Bill of Rights in 2014.”

Seems like he’s trying to prevent everyone who can vote, from voting.
