Ohio voters on Tuesday resoundingly rejected a Republican-backed measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state’s constitution, setting up a fall campaign that will become the nation’s latest referendum on abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nationwide protections last year.
Ohio GOP hasn’t cared about the rule of law for as long as I can remember. More famously, they were ordered to draw fair voting maps multiple times running into 2016, and kept submitting maps that didn’t even come close to passing muster, including submitting the exact same map twice AND submitting the current voting map.
This goes beyond not caring about the rule of law - they don’t even care about what voters want! In a democracy that has consequences.
They seem to think that they’re beyond democratic accountability entirely and can ignore popular opinion and ignore voter support.
