Status: offline 		Ohio groups collect 700,000 signatures to force recall referendum on Ohio's anti-union law. Only needed 231,000. Power to the people, power to the people right on!


SB5 opponents exceed signature goals
Claim to have three times the needed amount to get repeal on ballot.

The law signed by Gov. John Kasich in late March bans public employee strikes and restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 teachers, police officers, state employees and others.

Especially since the population of Ohio is only 11,542,645, with 8,164,823 registered voters.

So 1/6 of Ohio's voters signed the petition. Only half of actual voters are needed?

Though that would be my guess.
