A special election is taking place in Ohio with a potential impact on abortion rights. Ohioans flocked to the polls to decide whether amending their state constitution should require a 60 percent threshold or a simple majority. NBC News’ Ali Vitali has the latest on what this may mean for other states in the future.

Lester Holt: "…a rare August special election, the reason…"
The reason is because the conservatives are disingenuous and always looking for a cheap win by hook or by crook. Always power grabbing.
Ohio will become another mindless bonehead progressive liberal state YOU WANT ANOTHER CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON STATE,
OREGON OH DON'T FORGET ILLINOIS. ALL HAVE BECOME CESSPOOL CITIES 🤮🤮👎👎
Barbie's Abortion "Barbie's Abortion"

There’s an extremely loud 30% of the country that’s pro-Trump, anti-choice, and anti-trans and Anti American. They’ve convinced a lot of people they’re half the country but they’re not. They’re 30%.
so sick of religious nuts and old men trying to control women's bodies, keep voting and fight back for your rights and freedom!
Human rights include human unborn children!! Not just adults ! 😢
Everytime a ballot measure tries to restrict abortion rights, it loses.
The people have consistently spoken… Her body, her choice.
No extra taxes. Just allow choice for abortion.
Keep the bible at home, in the car and at church.
VOTE NO WON Even with deception, they could not win this! So many people were angry that they even had to vote for this=
Republican trickery!!
Rest in peace to all the lives that will me lost because of this 😢
The vast majority of Americans believe this intense and personal decision is between a woman and her physician and not at the whim of one group’s opinion that they demand everyone else adhere to. Why are Republicans trying to sneak this in?
Wait, no one wants to discover they are pregnant and be forced to carry the child by an overreaching government? How utterly conservative
What they don't realize. If someone aborted them they would not be around to fight for abortion Rights. Can't get no Dumber.
Abortion is murder. End of story.
Thank you Ohio. On to 2024. Vote blue
Thank you Ohio voters ❤ I feel relieved with my abortion choice now.
Great, fetus' will be rarer than jobs in this crap hole Ohio, and go blow, I'm from East Liverpool.
Tears for the babies who will die over this decision.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The GOP in general should see this as a sign. They are going to get trounced in November 2024
Good start. Now get rid of every Republican in every elected office at every level of government nationwide.
red meat for the base.
RepubliKKKans aren't even pretending to govern in Ohio.
These comic book villains come straight out from under the stairs in full KKKlan garb.
Vitali with the softball questions.
Could've asked about the hypoKKKrisy & KKKorruption of the Ohio GOP doing away with August elections and then resurrecting them to usurp the will of voters.
This bodes ill for the GOP nationally in 2024.
What's important is health care and higher minimum wage the cost of living is too high.
Where's all the trolls and haters? Oh yeah y'all lost so you're crying and whining that's all you do
If only the Republicans worked harder on issues like the power grid, mass/school/church shootings, healthcare, pandemics, or even lower taxes for working families, as hard as they worked on abortion, election lies, anti-semitism, transgender issues and gerrymandering.
Keep it up Ohio. Republicans are liars and cheaters.
How about really listening to the voters you represent, not what your personal beliefs are. If you don't like it… Don't run for office. If the voters don't like the way you conduct business then you need to be booted out of office.
just remember ohio, your democrat run federal govt couldve given you these rights on a federal level, but chose to go on vacation instead. they dont want you happy. they want you distracted and fighting amongst yourselves
We slammed the door on their bs ballot initiative !
Good job Ohio voters !! Smells Blue, tastes like maga tears !!
Why don't these Christian politicians ever talk about the multiple stories of abortion in the Bible?!? Here's my video called 'GOP on Abortion' that talks about these stories….

Ohio voters protecting freedom, well done!
❤❤❤Thank you OHIOANS the day of my 53th birthday was made special by you all🎉🎉🎉🎉
They making a lot of money selling their fetuses to weslthy vampires. Jeesh
L Ohio
Its a win for all grassroots initiatives. Its not about abortion. Its about all issues.
Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸
Meanwhile LeBron James's school has 70% of his students who can't read at a fourth grade level and his school goes up to 8thgrade😅😅😅 thank you for eliminating the dumbasses that we don't need in this world
I hope you all know the more you keep voting for abortion by the next 10 years you won't have a generation to represent you…duh😂😂😂
This is a preview for the presidential election. Goodbye republicans.
LETS GO OHIO W W W W BASED
I prefer the term foetus deletus
The fact that a political party are against a fundamental right to the degree that they are willing to go THAT far with their cheat codes, should be a warning. Good job, Ohio. never stop fighting. Oh, and by the way; Science says that aborting a zygote is NOT murder. So save your replies, forcedbirthers.
WHOO! Good job Ohio! As a Missourian, I throw all my respect at y'all for doing what we morons apparently couldn't freaking handle for the sake of our women and children.
