#3 I was so frustrated with our local branch of the Republican party. Usually their website has a sample ballot and slate recommendation easily findable, but this election they only had on there information about the two state initiatives (abortion and marijuana). I ended up calling the group’s secretary at home to find that information — discovering she’d had cataract surgery only hours before — in order to find out who was running as a Republican. For some reason the group had decided not recommend any of the candidates, and therefore did no outreach — all we got was a few mailers about the state issues from the Ohio Republicans. And Butler County is majority-Republican!

The Butler County Democratic Party had a full slate on their site.

#4 But at any rate, this is an off year here, with no important races, so it was only people who really care about pot and abortion who turned out.

#5 ^ Given the results from KY, I'd say what you witnessed is the how the GOP will phone it in heading into 2024.

#6 /\ 'Phone it in.'

Also called 'laying out' in the South. I hope you are wrong Rex, but I fear you are not.

#7 It appears that we have a corrupt electorate to go along with corrupted elections.

#8 Don't blame the voters. Where is the RNC? Where is McConnell? Given the current Dem disaster, they should have been flooding media for months. But no, they're too concerned with Orange Man Bad. Better to serve in Hell I guess - that's been GOP for decades.

#10 Why this obsession with killing babies?

And what "rights," aside from the "right" to kill a baby, are people like Wendy Page afraid of losing?

#11 It's the right to kill people - period. One should notice the side which celebrates the killing of children around the world are currently defending the "right" of Hamas to continue killing Jews. Jews, babies, conservatives - they've a long list as demonstrated by a certain manifesto that was recently leaked.

#12 Yes. Anyone who doesn't get that the Left is the Dark Side doesn't get very much at all.

#13 It's is not about killing babies, it's about women (or any othe "victim" group) not having to face consequences - no matter how irresponsibly they behave.

Incedentally, it's the same about Gaza: "what Hamas did is terrible, and we condemn it, but ..."

#15 We will need a personhood amendment to US Constitution to protect life from conception to natural death; it'd stop abortion and euthanasia too.

#16 ^ And drive leftists totally batshit crazy in the bargain. Ever wonder why all these advocates for death don't just off themselves if it's the answer to so many problems (or so they claim)?

#17 If Republicans want to lose elections... iirc single moms vote about ~80% for Democrats. Abortion is the way.

#18 Yeah, I guess if a person is a "single mom" who is afraid of having to raise her own no husband daughter's child or children later on, that would constitute "skin in the game."

#20 I worked the polls in a location where two NE Ohio precincts vote. The turnout was heavy. I saw many street names that I did not recognize as being in the precinct and many voters I did not recognize either. I have been assigned to this voting location consistently for two years so I recognize faces.
The Dems flooded the local sportscasts with propaganda about the purpose of the Amendment. They ran a pot initiative on the same ballot to notice more Dem voters to the polls. It was a good strategy well executed. While many Republicans care about the abortion issue, few in leadership truly care although they make sympathetic noises for pandering purposes. That is the reason for the lack of strategy and execution on the Pro-Life side. It was the Knights of Columbus versus the consensus of evil including big tech. The Pro-Life movement got bum rushed. The GOP spectated.

#21 My great concern is that on Judgement Day, saying "Well, I was opposed to it (abortion)" ain't gonna cut it.
