By Stephen Kokx, LifeSiteNews - Ohio voters shot down Issue 1 by a wide margin on Tuesday, August 8, in a special election. The proposal, backed by abortion supporters, had received 57% of the vote with 96% of the precincts counted at 11 p.m. ET... Issue 1 would have changed the process to amend the Ohio constitution by raising the threshold from a simple 50% plus one majority vote to a 60% requirement. Thanks to Issue 1’s defeat, pro-lifers will have an uphill battle against the proposal, which a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll shows is supported by 58% of Ohioans.
