Seeing how other red states are being forced to make abortion rights a constitutional right through voter initiatives, Ohio Republicans decided to go all out Nazi. They held a special election in August despite passing a law that said special elections couldn't be held in August. This was so their special election came before November when abortion rights are going to be on the ballot via an initiative.
The Conservative August initiative proposed that voter initiatives now require 60% to pass instead of 50%. But wait that is not all. In a special bit of ass fuckery they changed the signature collection requirement to include 5% of only voters in the last gubernatorial election in 44 counties knowing it would be practically impossible to get abortion rights on the ballot because small counties would effectively have veto power over any ballot initiative.
The voters turned the tables on these Republican bastards and spent all last night sodmizing them. In a red state special election held in August for only this initiative they lost by 14 points. This morning conservatives are busy mopping up the leftovers that are running out of their sore orifices.
