Exactly. I’d already assumed it was the case that he pulled the trigger, either accidentally without realizing or as part of the rehearsal process. The prosecution on this case is a shitshow.

Somebody needs to forward this to Cheetolini.

I hope legislatures around the country start paying better attention to voters and stop with the non-sense. This single vote shows the position on abortion is not what MAGA or Right-Wing Nutjobs tell people it is, or should be.

I’m certain the Ohio legislature will be working overtime and frantically searching for some loophole to implement to prevent the November vote from happening. Can’t have the “rabble” letting the lawmakers who allegedly represent them know what they actually want.

They may or may not ultimately vote to protect abortion rights in November, but it will be their choice, and it won’t be skewed by…

This is fuckin’ AWESOME! May the next election be the death of the republican party.

Ouch.

It's probably 50/50 that the Republicans will implement the amendment changes anyways because reasons.

republican 1: damn it! we lost the special election. how should we pivot to get more people on board with our party?

republican 2: cheat more!

republican 1: genius!

November is going to be lit. Eat shit, LaRose!

Die on any hill, really.  Just die quickly

We’ll need about 384k signatures, so let’s say 450k for good measure.

I’ve been waiting for this day since we failed last time back in 2022, hoping to personally be responsible for 200 signatures.
