More than 20 Ohio counties rejected Issue 1 on Tuesday and most of them were suburban and exurban counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

Because this was about more than just abortion. The November vote (specifically about abortion) could be an entirely different story.
Ya, that was my reading of this. It seems like “Issue 1” was a change in the Ohio Constitutional process. Yes, it was absolutely aimed at the potential abortion rights amendment; however, it makes much more sweeping changes and there may be people who were opposed to such changes on their own merit.
Precisely! In addition to abortion, Ohioans are working on recreational marijuana which also would’ve needed the insanely high 60% vote, had this issue passed.
It’s funny because the pro issue one people on my Facebook were all either completely focused on abortion or the fact that currently a 50.1% vote (or a single person) determined the outcome of something.
Both just completely disingenuous arguments… but arguments that are successful to a certain group of people.
