Glad people saw through the lies opponents were spewing. Ohio hasn’t had many blue victories, but I’m glad this was one.
Plus, recreational marijuana is passing as well. Sadly, that’s a statute and not amendment, so the dickheads in the legislature will probably fuck with it.
Ohio has had two blue victories this year alone! We aren’t a deep red state, we are simply gerrymandered all to hell. The map was even declared illegal in the courts, and our dear government kept using the illegal maps anyways!
If the Republicans can ignore the laws why don’t we just start ignoring their laws too. They want to shut down the government? Fucking ignore the crazy assholes. Simply refuse to lets a minority opinion dictate anything.

Because the government has a monopoly on force, and you will get arrested and put in jail.
The result from this vote tells me that Ohio isn’t red out of pure population ideology but because of unfair voting districts.
It’s more complicated than that. Gerrymandering doesn’t affect state-level votes like governor or president.
I think what this reveals more is that there are a non-trivial amount of voters who generally support Republicans but who will support abortion rights when asked specifically about them, even if they wouldn’t otherwise vote for a Democrat.
Ohio used to be widely known as a swing state, even with the fucked up gerrymandering. It’s been pretty solidly red since Trump was in office, but historically Ohio was pretty purple before that.
Gerrymandering doesn’t impact statewide races, only house races. They still went for Trump and elected a Republican senator. They also have a Republican governor.
It depends on the location. Ohio isn’t really that conservative, it’s mostly lolbertarian meth towns.
Thank you, voters of Ohio, from a woman in Texas!!!
That one person that downvoted this, I hope you stub your toe. I hope the next time you get excited about something, it falls through. I hope you get thirsty and all you can drink is Dasani.
Ohio won’t host your incest babies. Good on you, Ohio.
You think MAGA is voting for abortion? I’d like to see the numbers on that. I know some of them just want to watch everything burn but I also think most MAGA are aligned with the christo-fascists.
I think you misinterpreted what they said. They were implying the MAGA crowd may feel confident voting MAGA again now that abortion is enshrined in the constitution. Many of them may vote for all kinds of things, but abortion rights are fairly popular.
Conservatives will happily vote for the face eating leopards when they don’t even have a veneer of protection, this state level protection is great but will ultimately remove a reason to vote blue from the extremely self interested voters that don’t mind the rest of the regressive platform.
go to conservative spaces now and watch them try to walk “ABORTION IS MURDER, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION” back to “well from the beginning our goal was only ever to return sovereignty to the states.”
they stand for nothing, and they’re getting what they deserve but not nearly enough of it
