Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain
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."
WTF America. Don't you have some sort of neutral House Constable with powers to kick out these idiots in cases like this? How can they just ignore official results without consequence?
It sounds like there needs to be a bottom-to-top reform of the law where every 'norm' that used to be assumed, gets new enforceable law to back it up.
The party of Lincoln sure doesn't seem like they want a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The most worrying part of this press release is the part where they're saying they're going to try and reign in the powers of the judiciary to enforce the abortion amendment. Sure sounds a lot like fascism to me.
"You lost. Get over it." -- Republicans, 2016
Hey Republicans. Prove your specific god exists, and I'll recognize that you have god-given rights.
In the meantime, we have real, objective proof that you lost and need to STFU.
Sounds like they wanna take our freedoms. Hey, didn't we go to literal fucking war over that once or twice?
We watch while another group tries to overthrow

Time for a People V. Legislature of Ohio.
Laws for thee, none for me my Goodman.
I am sickiof big government Republicans
I get that he misspoke but it does seem illustrative of the whole issue. Fetuses don’t have the rights we’re born with because they haven’t been born.
So…. They’re being fired right?
"Everything you don't like is fasict." Mmmhmmm
They should mention all these billionaires since they’re so convinced. Fucking idiots
So they are doing the standard autocrat thing where they just remove the agency of voters until they get their way?
The GOP is going full Muslim, this won't end well.
