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.”

    There is no neutral role, everything can be made partisan.

    If the people don’t like the actions of an elected official, they can either try to vote them out in the next election or try to force a recall and replace them.

      The federal Constitution prevents any state from recalling a member of congress, so your federal reps can not be recalled legally. They would have to be expelled from within the congress, you get to vote and thats it.
