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.”
Articles like this are just to make republican voters stop crying. Give them hope while also selling a news article.
Abortion rights will go in effect, and the election results will stay.
Based on what? This wouldn’t be the first time Republicans ignored a constitutional amendment and got away with it.
Exactly.
These chucklefucks got elected on conservative social repression. Now that it’s been rejected, this is a desperate plea to their base not to primary them out next term.
