HEADLINES tonight . . . OHIO voters REJECT republican scheme!
Ohio voters rejected Tuesday an effort by republicans to raise the threshold to amend the state’s constitution ahead of a November referendum on whether to constitutionally guarantee abortion rights there, handing abortion rights advocates a critical victory. Known as Issue 1, the measure would have changed Ohio’s referendum law – lifting the threshold to amend the state’s constitution from a simple majority to 60%. With the critical November referendum approaching,if passed the rule would have made it extraordinarilydifficult on those hoping to keep abortion rights for women. But Ohioans rejected the proposal, and so a simple majorityremains as the only requirement.
republicans lose again !
sign of things to come in other states too ??
