Ohio Republicans Refuse To Accept Election Results, Claim Abortion Bans Will Remain (www.meidastouch.com)

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."

What type of foreign interference gives a flying fuck about Ohio specifically having abortions? It's such an unhinged thing to think foreigners would care about. But these same foreign bodies just snoozed through Ohio going mostly Red the past 6ish years?

Soros is an American citizen, not that this would stop them.

I mean foreign influence was the story of 2016. It was comicly obvious.
