Days after Ohio voters passed Issue 1 and codified abortion rights into Ohio’s constitution, Republicans are not accepting the election results.
In a new, unhinged press release issued by the Ohio House Republican Committee, GOP members rant that “foreign billionaires” impacted the election results and call the results tainted by so-called “foreign interference.” It is unclear what they are referring to.
Ohio voters overwhelmingly voted ‘Yes’ on Issue 1 by a margin of 56.6% to 43.4%.
The press release further argues that the results of the election do not invalidate a 6-week abortion ban previously passed by the Ohio Legislature and that “no amendment can overturn the God given rights with which we were born.”
Supreme court here we come… oh no…
Issues of State law go to the State supreme court.
Sometimes the Federal court butts in, but those cases are rare.
But this is the sort of reason the USSC was stacked the way it was.
As right-wing as they are, they’ve made a few good calls.
Here go one:

I’m guessing any Ohio Republican that gets this case in front of this court would have his ass handed to him.
By a 5-4 margin, which is terrifying when you realize 44% of the court is totally cool with racist gerrymandering
