The gerrymandered supermajority legislature in Ohio continues to tell voters over and over that they are not interested in what they have to say.

Gross. ‘“We just got spanked at the polls— twice— on abortion and our citizens told us clearly and by a huge margin that they don’t want restriction. So tomorrow morning, will go vote to ram restrictions down their throats.

Here’s what to know
• Rhode Island voters made history by electing the state’s first Black representative to Congress. Democrat Gabe Amo in a special election.
• Ohio’s Issue 1 ballot initiative will enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution.
• A race for an open seat on Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court has drawn more than $17 million in spending. Abortion is a key issue.

So much for "Dumbocrats gunna get wrecked in the battleground states"

Women are voting with both feet in every state where their human rights/ abortion rights have been on the ballot …

Not letting the culture war extremists drag us back to Middle Ages without a fight …

Women and all men who have a brain. This is wonderful to see. Why aren’t we pushing for a constitutional amendment?

It would be virtually impossible in this political climate. The Equal Rights Amendment passed Congress in 1972, and it required 38 states to ratify. The 38th state (VA coincidentally) didn't do so until 2020, which was 48 years later. It would be even harder now.

+1. Exit polling from Ohio was interesting. Young people voted for the Abortion amendment in huge numbers. Boomers were the only age group against it. That makes sense, I guess. It affects young people’s daily lives the most. Unmarried and married women and unmarried mean were in favor of the amendment. But, married men were against it in exit polls 51-49. Gotta control wifey, I guess. Ohio likes ‘‘em barefoot and pregnant.

I have no idea. Where can we follow results?

Scroll to the bottom of this page: https://wapo.st/3tYCLxU. Looks good for Ds in the at large races and dranesville. I don’t know who is who in the others.

Thank you.

Right now, Dems are 12-0, and all are carrying at least 60% of the votes.

The only Hong that could make FCPS parents vote several of the Dems back onto the board after the COVID disaster was threats book banning and targeting LGBTQ kids. So, thanks to Republicans for playing the culture wars in a county that clearly has no interest. In my district, the number #1 priority of the R candidate was “protecting our children from pornography in school libraries”. #2 was “protecting girls sports as safe spaces”. The only thing worse than incompetence is 4 years of culture wars. Hard pass. If I had heard about returning TJ to pure merit based admissions, teacher pipeline initiatives and smaller clas sizes from Rs, I would have votes for the R. But, I read the candidate questionnaires and it was book banning and trans kids.

I just said this on another thread. We are not interested in this in Fairfax.

Oops!

You don’t have to tart it up. People are sick of GOP extremism and want some measure of sanity back, sanity that only the Democrats are capable of providing.

Suck it Glen!
