Ohio voters on Tuesday resoundingly rejected a Republican-backed measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state’s constitution, setting up a fall campaign that will become the nation’s latest referendum on abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nationwide protections last year.

Issue 1 was bad and I'm glad to see that the voters rejected it. That they did highlights the growing disconnect from Republican politicians and Republican voters on key issues like Abortion and Marijuana.

It's really spooky how the GOP doesn't seem to really care about popular opinion anymore.

That doesn't end anywhere good.

Who'da thunk that making women have their rapists' babies would be a nationally unpopular proposition? One could never have foreseen such a thing.

Ohio is about to get real cool. The abortion vote is going to enshrine it in the Ohio consitution, but along side it, legal marijuana is also on the same ballot.

Go register and go vote!

If Ohio gets legal abortion and legal marijuana, I will officially declare that it lose it's "most mediocre state" title

Vote this coming election and don't let anyone tell you your vote doesn't matter!

If it didn't, the Republicans wouldn't be trying bullshit like this!

#VOTE EVERY ELECTION!

Fuck the GOP and fuck anyone who supports that trash.

I only wish it was no by 60% then it would be denied by their own standards.

[-] OneThere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

By their standards, it only needed to be no by 40%

Every time something doesn’t go their way, they change the rules.

This quote from the resident is spot on!

Always good for people when the GOP/Nazi party loses.
