Judges Matter - a webinar...
About this event
About half of Ohio voters say they vote for judges only half the time or less because
of the difficulty of finding candidate information and confusion about the work of various courts. Our panel will discuss the Ohio Supreme Court’s far-reaching influence on Ohio policies like gerrymandering and reproductive rights, as well as the impact other courts have on citizens everyday lives. They’ll highlight the importance and challenges of researching the candidates, and ways voters can educate themselves.
