Cincinnati Votes On Airport Plan And Voting Machines

Cincinnati voters face key decisions on funding a new airport in the area and on adopting voting machines. The airport proposal centers on a Kentucky site near Cincinnati, with arguments about reach, proximity, and regional prestige. Proponents cite traffic saturation and growth, while opponents warn of proximity to homes and schools and potential obsolescence with jet travel. The voting machine bond issue prompts debate over election integrity and modernization, with Republicans backing machines to curb fraud and Democrats and Charter leaders cautioning that errors may persist. Both issues require 55 percent in the November 8 election.
