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.”

    “Well, John Marshall has made his decision, but now let him enforce it.”

    If Ohio courts rule that any laws are in violation of this amendment, the governor and legislature are perfectly capable of ignoring the courts and doing whatever the hell they want. This is not ‘empty gestures.’ This is fascism rising.
