High Turnout In Ohio As Voters Consider Measure That Could Impact Abortion Rights
- An upcoming vote in Ohio seeks to raise the threshold for passing constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%.
- The measure is seen as a Republican response to an amendment on the November ballot that would enshrine abortion rights.
- Democrats and abortion rights groups oppose the measure, arguing it would undermine voters and make protecting abortion access harder.
- Early turnout has been high, especially among women and Democratic-leaning voters motivated to protect abortion rights.
- The outcome will indicate momentum ahead of next year's elections that could determine control of Congress.
