Drag queens grateful after Ohio Supreme Court removes performance ban from ballot
WCPO: Atiba Ellis, the Laura B. Chisholm Distinguished Research Scholar and professor of law, discussed the Ohio Supreme Court’s underlying reasoning for removing a proposal to ban public performances from a city’s ballot. Rather than being about LGBT rights, Ellis explained, the decision was related to a procedural issue. “This court has made clear that there can’t be a change in the middle of the process because the law is intended to protect the voters from bait and switch tactics,” Ellis said.
