More than 20 Ohio counties rejected Issue 1 on Tuesday and most of them were suburban and exurban counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

    Ya, that was my reading of this. It seems like “Issue 1” was a change in the Ohio Constitutional process. Yes, it was absolutely aimed at the potential abortion rights amendment; however, it makes much more sweeping changes and there may be people who were opposed to such changes on their own merit.

      Precisely! In addition to abortion, Ohioans are working on recreational marijuana which also would’ve needed the insanely high 60% vote, had this issue passed.
