Ohioan here. The votes IMOHO were legitimate.

No where does it say expressly and out in the open in Issue1 as it appeared on the ballot that abortions would be legal until the moment of birth. Had they written that in expressly and not couched it inside "a doctor must determine fetal viability" then the issue would have FAILED. HUGELY FAILED. But it was unreadable.

Secondly putting Issue1 and Issue2 on the same ballot gave an advantage to Issue1 as I saw very young voters at my voting location for the first time in years. My guess is that they were there for Issue2 and as long as they were there why not vote for Issue1 as well.

To Ohio's credit every county that voted Issue1 voted Issue2 but not every county that voted Issue2 voted Issue1. That looks completely legitimate. I don't know what to tell you no one here cares about weed. Furthermore the counties that voted to pass Issue1 are the usual blue ones. No surprise.

I am very saddened to say I don't think they cheated.
