Ohio went blue shift to red in 2020 based on early/absentee voting so I wouldn't be surprised it ended around 54-55 no.

Close, but the "no" vote will probably end up at around 57%, which interestingly enough is right where most polls had it in the last couple of weeks. As of now most of the uncounted votes are either coming in the mail, or in Cuyahoga County, and both should be firmly in the "no" camp.

The "no" vote won in 21 counties, and basically tied in one. Really. Clark County (between the counties that contain Dayton and Columbus), a county trump won in 2020 , basically tied in the vote, with 16,015 "no" votes and 16,014 "yes" votes. This is a county that went for trump by a 23 point margin in 2020 after having done so by "only" 19 points in 2016, so it wasn't exactly trending in the correct direction. In 2020, trump won in all but 7 counties, so 14 "flipped."

While I am still horrified by what is happening to women in some parts of the country, I am happy that Ohio won't be as bad as some. It feels nice to be on the winning side for once. I need a vacation now.

While the rural counties were solidly in the Yes column, there are three exceptions worth noting. Athens and Wood were strong NFW while Butler* was a slight Yes. That's a tad odd until you realize those three counties are home to Ohio University, BGSU, and Miami University. Looks like the kids came out and voted.

*Butler county is also home to Middletown which you may recall as being the center of action in Hillbilly Elegy.
 
Once again this election firmly shows that the Under 30 crowd will forcefully give the GOP the finger at the polls. They see what is at stake and will do what is needed for the task at hand.

This evening I spoke with my daughter (under 30) who lives in Columbus. She reports back that not only had her social media been going crazy for two weeks prior to the Issue 1 vote, there was a massive GOTV component that kicked in last week. Everyone in her network was encouraging each other to go out and vote NFW.

One other item. Every single county in Ohio shifted leftward for this vote as compared to the 2020 presidential results. Ruby red counties that went Trump by as much as 30 points may have still been Yes overall, but the Issue 1 margins were anywhere from 5-10 points for a 10-20 point swing. If only 15% of this swing holds next year, Brown wins re-election easily. Not sure that's realistic as a substantial number of Fox News watching, Breitbart reading, Hunter Biden hating, Let's Go Brandon despising Republicans who voted NFW on Issue 1 will likely return home in '24. But there's hope.

My friends daughter is there...thankfully she is safe.

(And by safe I mean she is stuck in a non moving car on a highway and has been for a day!)
 
The Traverse City hair salon refusing services to trans clients: not answering voice mail (her voice mail is full) and has turned her social media pages private.

She had the freedom to say it, but she's not willing to deal with the backlash.
 
The Oregon Republicans who walked out to prevent passage of Democrat-sponsored legislation?

They were informed today they can't seek reelection due to excessive absenteeism.
