In the August 21 edition of Ohio Has Issues, Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr. share what we know about the controversy surrounding ballot language for Ohio's proposed constitutional amendment that would reform redistricting.

Chris Davey from Citizens Not Politicians, the group behind the amendment, joins the show to explain why they're challenging the language, while Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose defends the wording in a statement provided to Ohio Has Issues.

Plus, we tell you the latest on the Senate race in Ohio, including who is leading in the latest poll, why Sen. Sherrod Brown is not at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), and what Mother Jones is reporting about help that candidate Bernie Moreno got when launching his car dealerships.
