Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome of Tuesday’s intense, off-year election was the latest blow for abortion opponents.
It’s more complicated than that. Gerrymandering doesn’t affect state-level votes like governor or president.
I think what this reveals more is that there are a non-trivial amount of voters who generally support Republicans but who will support abortion rights when asked specifically about them, even if they wouldn’t otherwise vote for a Democrat.

The result from this vote tells me that Ohio isn’t red out of pure population ideology but because of unfair voting districts.

Just wait until you dig into the absolute fuckery the Ohio GOP has pulled to in order to keep those districts unfair.
They don’t care what people want.
they care about what a fascistic minority wants that could help them get into power
It depends on the location. Ohio isn’t really that conservative, it’s mostly lolbertarian meth towns.
That’s because Ohio is just western Connecticut.
