HELL FUCKING YES
I'd like to send an extremely heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted no on Issue 1, and an equally heartfelt go fuck yourselves and die mad about it to the Ohio GOP and everyone who voted yes.

Tuesday is Election Day in many parts of the US.
VOTE! 🗳 🇺🇸
A number of sites provide you with an opportunity to see who is on your ballot and what issues are being contested. They don't include an actual image of your ballot but they do let you know what's on it.

Sample Ballot Lookup - Ballotpedia
Vote Informed on the Entire Ballot - BallotReady
Of course check the site of your local election authority. In some places it's the county clerk and in others it's a board of elections. The elections mentioned in this post are a small number of those around the US on November 7th.
Because of the GOP SCOTUS overturning of Roe v. Wade, state legislatures now determine whether a state supports reproductive freedom or not. State governments have been badly neglected by liberals for decades — and that situation needs to end.
Both chambers of the state legislature in Virginia are up for election on Tuesday. If both fall under Republican control then the state will join the rest of the South in restricting abortion.
Virginia is not the only state having elections for its state officials.

There are numerous municipal elections, special elections, ballot measures, and constitutional amendments to be decided on Tuesday.
The biggie is the Ohio constitutional amendment on reproductive freedom. Voters in Ohio have the opportunity to overturn the gerrymandered Ohio Republican legislature's ban on abortion. Vote YES on Ohio Issue 1.
A very local but important contest is the special legislative election in New Hampshire to fill a vacancy in Hillsborough County District 3 (in the Nashua area). Right now Republicans have a one seat advantage in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. If Democrat Paige Beauchemin wins this seat then Republicans will be forced to share power with Democrats in the chamber.

Good candidates for federal office often emerge from state and local government. Before he was elected to the US Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served several terms in the Illinois legislature.
There is no such thing as an unimportant election.

If you're in Ohio remember to vote YES on Issue 1 today
State Democrats, funded by out of state money, are planning on doing an and run around the normal legislative process in November by enshrining legalized abortion into the state constitution. I've also read that they're trying to do the same thing with porn in schools, but I don't know if that one is for sure happening yet. Currently, changing the state constitution only requires a 51% general vote. Issue 1 is about raising that % to 60.
Constitutions should always be hard to change, regardless of why it's being changed. The process for changing The Constitution is long, and it requires way more than a simple majority vote. And that's how it should be. Constitutions aren't like laws that can be repealed and changed if the political will is strong enough and people vote in politicians who will change those laws. Constitutions, national or state, are the foundation of law. In a constitutional republic, direct democracy is a cancer. It's the tyranny of the slimmest of majorities. Please consider joining me in voting YES on issue 1 today if you want to protect the state consatitution.
Also, make sure to check your polling place. Mine was changed recently, and yours might have been too.

Trump killed Roe v. Wade. He has said as much on multiple occasions. He appointed three of the US Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn the 1973 ruling; all three lied (how Trumpian!) to Senate hearings about how they felt about Roe v. Wade.
The results of the Issue 1 vote in Ohio reveal that there are people who voted for Trump but also voted to enshrine abortion in the Ohio Constitution.
Save the video above and show it to people thinking of voting for Trump who think government should not ban abortion.
Never be afraid to repeat things. Repetition is how people learn. Make his full name: Donald J. Trump Killed Roe v. Wade. In close elections it's not necessary to get massive numbers of people to change their minds. But it is essential to convince a few.
Remaining Republicans at every level of government simply cannot be trusted to protect reproductive freedom, and that starts at the top.

Wow! Republicans utterly EXPOSED in Most POWERFUL Ad of the Year

Republicans say it's about protecting the Ohio State Constitution. It's really about keeping Ohio's extremely restrictive laws on women's reproductive health.
