  • Ohio Republicans want to make it harder to amend their state's constitution.
  • While some want to talk about outside influences, other Republicans have made clear the special election is entirely about abortion.
  • Tuesday's vote is set to be the latest data point in how Americans feel about abortion after Roe's reversal.

Ohioans are voting in an election that was never supposed to happen. It is poised to become the latest data point of how conservatives are still struggling to respond to a public that remains incensed that the Supreme Court gutted nationwide abortion rights.
