"Controversial Ohio Abortion Ballot Question Sparks Voter Confusion and Early Voting Surge"

Ohio's abortion ballot question, known as Issue 1, has left voters confused due to complicated language, misinformation, and an earlier ballot measure with the same name. This is the first time voters in a red state are being asked to vote "yes" to establish a constitutional right to abortion. Republicans have attempted to influence the vote by using language favored by anti-abortion groups and spreading misinformation. Abortion rights groups have reminded voters of the consequences of Ohio's six-week abortion ban, while the anti-abortion side has focused on arguments that the amendment would encourage late-term abortions. The outcome of this ballot question is being closely watched as it could impact future abortion rights measures in red and purple states.
