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."

Can the legislature be forced to follow the people's mandate by law enforcement? We seriously need to pass laws that jail legislators who fail to act in a timely manner on the peoples will

You don't have to wait for law enforcement to do it.

Yeah, just call and tell them what you think. Then eventually vote based on their response.

Our system of government has issues but basically gives us the government we ask for. If the people of Ohio vote these representatives out, the problem with be solved.

That's one option.
