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.”

    Honestly, I got defensive and wouldn’t have written any of this if you hadn’t said “what kind of math are you doing” like it wasn’t t obvious what I did.

    Good on you for this, seriously. I sounded like a dick, but was asking earnestly.

      And like, I knew you were being earnest! Tone is hard to get across on the Internet. But emotions react before the critical thinking can do it’s work =P
