Ohioans voted against a measure that would have made it harder to change the state constitution on Tuesday, securing a crucial victory for abortion-rights advocates before a fall vote. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Issue 1 failed in Tuesday’s special election, according to the Associated Press. There was huge turnout for a special election: nearly 700,000 advance ballots were cast in the early voting period, according to the AP, which is more than double the early vote in the previous primaries in 2022 and 2018. The vote on Issue 1 garnered national interest and extra significance because Democrats are trying to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution through a November citizen-led ballot initiative.
