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.
