In Tuesday's special election, Ohioans overwhelmingly voted against requiring a supermajority to amend their state constitution - eviltoast

Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1​ that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the vote against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the special election was seeking to require in the first place.

    “Overwhelmingly”, yet if issue 1 was in place and people were voting to get rid of it, they wouldn’t have reached it’s threshold. Shows how undemocratic it would have been.
