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.”

    The Republicans think they have a right to rule us without our consent. Sooner or later the military may have to get involved.

        The JCoS may be largely conservative but we have to hope they love America enough to fight for it in its intended form as a democracy rather than the fascist ethnostate the republicans want

        Why do you think Tuberville is holding 400+ appointments hostage until the GOP likely takes the senate back?

        It’s part of project 2025 to have insurrectionists in the millitary who would support a theocratic coup

        It’s a wild card, I’m not saying otherwise. The alternative though, could very well be a right wing authoritarian take over. My hope is enough of these guys saw Iraq or Afghanistan to know what it would look like.

        Conservative or not, those of us who served, and didn’t just sit behind a desk, know the oath we took. I think you would be surprised how many service members hold that shit in higher regard than a politician’s butthurt response to election results.
