This would have effectively ended all ballot initiatives in Ohio. I was happy to vote no and even happier to see it lose.
I'm just upset it didn't lose by 60%
Last I heard it lost by over 70%.
56% I saw it peak at one point early above 60 but the final call is 56.
There's a reason they chose that 60% figure in the amendment proposal: if you don't really think about it, it seems reasonable (it's not even 2/3rds!) But in reality, in the country's currently fractured political climate, getting to 60% is near impossible. Hell, if a Presidential candidate carries a state with 55% it's considered a crushing defeat, so 60 is a crazy high bar.
I don't say this often, but good job Ohio.
