#Abortion Drives #Ohio Election on Amending the State Constitution
For more than a century, Ohio voters have been able to amend the State Constitution w/a simple majority vote.
That could end on Tues, bc the state’s #RepublicanControlled#Legislature has called for a special election that would raise the bar for amendments from a simple majority to 60%….
The reason is no secret. Since the #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade last year, voters across the country, in multiple elections, have approved ballot measures protecting the right to #abortion. A similar election has been scheduled for Nov in Ohio, & legislators are hoping the higher bar for passing amendments will lead to its defeat.
