2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

It’s at 58% reporting. I’m not relaxing until it’s at 80%+.
I voted three weeks ago, but this whole time I’ve been wondering if I can stay in this state if this managed to pass. My hope is that the No vote comes to 60%; the irony would be delicious.
Edit: Okay, it’s 91% reporting at 56.6% No. I feel good about this one. Good work folks!
It's at 70% reporting now. The AP called it saying it was impossible to switch to a yes given the districts reporting. The "no" still has a healthy lead at 57%. Pretty sure Ohio kicked the GOP right in the proverbial balls. Also, (at the moment) 2.3 MILLION voters turned out for an August special election with this being the only issue?!
EDIT: Just hit 80% reporting and still at a 57% no. Fuck yeah fellow ohioans!
EDIT 2: Just crossed 90% reporting and still at a 57% no. Democracy wins!

I don't have a horse in this race but I wanna cheer anyway. \O/
If you're American, you definitely do. Republicans have tried this same strategy before and will try again. Like notorious conservative apologist, David Frum, said, "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."
Celebrate this win with us
