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."

WTF America. Don't you have some sort of neutral House Constable with powers to kick out these idiots in cases like this? How can they just ignore official results without consequence?

It sounds like there needs to be a bottom-to-top reform of the law where every 'norm' that used to be assumed, gets new enforceable law to back it up.

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

Most military members are actually conservative. If we get to that point we're in big trouble.

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.
