Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain (www.meidastouch.com)

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."

Yeah, I don't think most people truly grok how pivotal this is going to be. Yeah, they may say the whole "this is the most important election of your life" like they say every time (and it has been every time, unfortunately), but I don't know how many people truly understand what's coming.

That's why they haven't stopped saying it about 2020. Repeat a lie enough and it becomes true...
