The Aug. 8 special election has drawn national attention because of its ramifications for a November vote on an abortion-rights amendment.
Ohio’s State Issue 1 has failed as voters rejected Republican lawmakers’ attempt to make it harder for the public to propose and approve changes to the state constitution.
With 2.7 million votes counted and 87% of precincts reporting, Issue 1 trailed 57% to 43%, a margin sufficient for the Associated Press the call the race even as more votes have yet to be tabulated.
Issue 1 opponents, including organized labor groups, Democrats and abortion-rights activists, declared a cathartic victory at a firefighters’ union hall in Columbus less than two hours after polls closed on Tuesday evening. The result was a rare rebuke of Republican power in Ohio reminiscent of the 2011 vote to repeal Senate Bill 5, a bill that scaled back collective-bargaining rights for government employees.
