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."

I get that he misspoke but it does seem illustrative of the whole issue. Fetuses don’t have the rights we’re born with because they haven’t been born.

So…. They’re being fired right?

They should mention all these billionaires since they’re so convinced. Fucking idiots

I would not call 56.6% vs 43.4% "overwhelming," but okay.

Yeah, it's a slim majority. I want it to be overwhelming, but let's not distort the facts.

The GOP is going full Muslim, this won't end well.

So they are doing the standard autocrat thing where they just remove the agency of voters until they get their way?
