Democrats Are Telling Unmitigated Lies In Ohio

It’s official: Ohio will hold an August election to ask voters whether it should be harder to amend the state constitution.

House Republicans passed a resolution 62-37 Wednesday that, if approved by voters, would require 60% of voters to enact new constitutional amendments instead of a simple majority. The vote capped off a tumultuous few weeks for GOP lawmakers, who wrestled with the issue and risked missing a key election deadline.

Five Republican House members voted against the resolution. The Senate concurred late Wednesday on the House changes.

Supporters of the resolution were pushing for an August election to get ahead of a potential November ballot question that would enshrine abortion access in Ohio.
