Ohio Issue 1 fails in key victory for abortion rights

The Associated Press projects Ohio Issue 1 has failed. The Republican-backed measure would have raised the threshold for amending the Ohio constitution from a simple majority to 60%, making it harder to protect abortion rights in future elections.

@TonyStark This is just a power grab from a party that is being left in the dust. The GOP doesn’t have any good ideas so they have to rig the game to maintain power at any cost. #VoteNoOn1
