Ohio lawmakers propose 60% vote requirement for amending state constitution ahead of controversial abortion vote.

Ohio lawmakers have passed a resolution to require a 60% supermajority of Ohio voters to amend the state's constitution, which could make it harder for voters to make abortion legal in November. The resolution was sent to the Senate and passed with ease. If approved by voters, an amendment to the state constitution to keep abortion legal in Ohio would need a 60% supermajority of Ohio voters to pass. The ACLU's legal team claims the resolution may not be legal because the lawmakers technically need to pass actual legislation to have an August special election.
