Ranking candidates 1-2-3 instead of picking just one is known as ranked choice voting.

Some local municipalities in Ohio are considering using the voting method, although none currently do.

A bill to ban ranked choice voting pre-emptively just passed the Ohio House and heads to the Ohio Senate.

Universities not complying with an anti-DEI law could lose funding under a Republican bill meant to ensure compliance. The same loss of funding threat goes for school districts who sue the state.

We compost food, so why not human bodies? A new bill would allow that option.

In lighter news, Gov. Mike DeWine was asked his thoughts on the new Ohio-based reality show, “Love is Blind.”

We're talking about all of these topics on this week's reporter roundtable.
