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.”

    Considering it only take a 2/3 majority to remove the President from office, your split seems to be arbitrary and made in bad faith to minimize the results.

    Also, it’s 13.2%, not 6.6%.

      I never said it was some kind of objective measure, and bad faith? Wth? You asked me for my opinion so I gave it to you. Your baseline of “to remove the president” is also arbitrary. I would have loved for the vote to be overwhelming, I’m sorry to say that I don’t find this result to be that. And you can’t say it’s a double digit win when “win” is 50%.
