O’Neill, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
{¶ 61} I concur in all aspects of the court’s opinion except for the remedy. R.C. 3519.16(F) clearly anticipates a signature shortage. The statute gives respondents ten days to cure their shortage and gives the secretary of state until 65 days prior to the election to determine the sufficiency of the additional signatures. R.C. 3519.16(F). “If they are sufficient, the amendment, proposed law, or law shall be placed on the ballot as required by law.” Id.
{¶ 62} We are currently 85 days before the election. Implementation of the remedy is not our job. Interpretation of the law is.
