Ohio ballot election sets the stage for a major abortion fight in November
Ohioans head to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to make it more difficult to pass ballot measures in the state.
Issue 1 would raise the threshold of support required to pass state constitutional amendments to 60% instead of a simple majority. Tuesday's ballot measure says nothing about abortion rights, but the issue is at the heart of a fight that has received outsize attention for an off-year ballot election.
If Issue 1 passes, it will make it harder for a ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution to pass this fall.
