Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1​ that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the vote against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the special election was seeking to require in the first place.

    True, though so did Sherrod Brown… Ohio’s political personality is definitely a weird one. As a resident, the Trump and J.D. Vance thing still strikes me as exceptionally strange given Ohio typically goes for moderate Republicans. I think it’s really the redder parts of the state don’t “recognize” the extremism/have been successfully convinced the left is “equally extreme.”

    It’s frustrating.
