Of course. They can only win by cheating.
They might actually still loose. This time people are onto their games and can get the word out.
That’s right, dems, it’s on you to get the word out. Can’t just sit around with them fat thumbs of yours shoved up your ass.
Ohioans, don't take my statements to say you can stay home. Go vote!
...however, there is majority support for allowing abortion in Ohio. So much so, the GOP broke their own rules to hold a special election to try to change majority to 60% as well as trying to limit new ballot measures by requiring high numbers from every single county in Ohio. This naked GOP power grab was soundly rejected by Ohio voters.
Moreover, a further separate measure is on the upcoming ballot legalizing recreational marijuana. I think that will bring out an additional set of voters that would support both measures.
There's certainly a big conditional on "if"... but everyone gets out to vote, then it's probably a shoe in for abortion and weed. Their games are because they're threatened. It's not all doom and gloom, it's just a pretty big freaking "if."
I don't think it is AS big an "if" as normal. The vote in August was essentially the dry-run for making abortion legal as a constitutional amendment in Ohio, and its one by a large margin.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In November, Ohioans will vote on a citizen-initiated amendment that would create a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in the state, which would protect decisions on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing a pregnancy, miscarriage care and abortion up to the point of fetal viability.
LaRose, who is running in the GOP primary to challenge Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) next year, has publicly opposed the amendment.
But the Supreme Court rejected the argument that the phrase “unborn child” solicits the board’s “ethical judgment or personal view.”
“By rejecting special interest attempts to substitute their own carefully crafted and poll tested language for that of the ballot board, they have ensured Ohio voters will have a full and accurate understanding of the proposed measure when they go to cast their ballots,” spokeswoman Mary Cianciolo said in a statement.
The court ordered the ballot board to adopt language that accurately describes that the amendment would regulate actions by the state rather than citizens.
Cianciolo said the ballot board would quickly reconvene to make the “minor change ordered by the court.”
