COLUMBUS, OH - Ohio Legislators will be introducing several bills to address this issue in the coming weeks.

Foreign billionaires don't get to make Ohio laws, said Jennifer Gross (R-West Chester), pointing to millions from billionaires outside America that helped fund Issue 1. Gross added, This is foreign election interference, and it will not stand.

Issue 1 doesn't repeal a single Ohio law, in fact, it doesn't even mention one, said Representative Bill Dean (R-Xenia). The amendments language is dangerously vague and unconstrained, and can be weaponized to attack parental rights or defend rapists, pedophiles, and human traffickers.

Melanie Miller (R-Ashland) said, We will continue to be a voice for every child in their mother's womb who cannot speak for themselves.

Representative Beth Lear (R-Galena) stated, No amendment can overturn the God given rights with which we were born.

To prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with Issue 1, Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary over this ambiguous ballot initiative. The Ohio legislature alone will consider what, if any, modifications to make to existing laws based on public hearings and input from legal experts on both sides.

It's no accident that this is the exact same language they were using to justify segregation, interracial marriage bans, etc. back in the day. To these klan motherfuckers, no election matters because God has the final say, and of course they claim their views are God's views.

"Unless it's Russia interfering to get a greasy orange fuckspot elected. Then it's all good."

Go right ahead, repubs. Deny the will of the voters right in the lead up to an election when your popularity is already at rock fucking bottom.

I look forward to you not learning the obvious lessons there either.

You don't even have to go back that far. Just look at how ambiguous Florida's Don't Say Gay bill was.

Coming soon from the Ohio GOP: "Our loss in the recent elections was due to foreign interference, so we won't be leaving office. We respect every voice in the state who was silenced due to the election tampering. No election can oveturn our God given rights to be in charge here."

Forget about the "Ohio" part. This is basically what the entire party are going to try to pull next November, to force Trump to be installed as dictator-for-life.

This is why Republicans are so vehemently against proportional representation or otherwise abolishing statewide and congressional districts.

They want to pick their voters and decide what gets on the ballot.

A ton of people that voted red voted for this. If you look at the voting demographics, men were closely split but women came out hard against the thing that would fuck them over.

Republicans need to attack women's right to vote. It's the only winning strategy

Nah. If the recent past is any indication, it will encourage voting, against the GOP.

The GOP's issue is they literally only ran on one thing: Abortion. And now they realize it doesn't work, but they don't know what else to do, because they committed so hard to it, in the first place.
