Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain (www.meidastouch.com)

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."

Don't shrug your shoulders and say "I guess we'll wait until the next election." They have shown what they think of election results.

Take note of how the French do things and fucking protest!
