Only US citizens to vote

Only US citizens to vote in Ohio. Voters have approved an amendment to the state constitution to require that only a citizen of the United States can vote at any state or local election, WTX USA News projects, assuming they meet other requirements.

The new measure would prohibit local governments from allowing a person to vote in local elections in Ohio if they are not legally qualified to vote in state elections.

Polls closed at 19:30 eastern (00:30 GMT) in Ohio, where Republican JD Vance has faced an unexpectedly stiff challenge from Democrat Tim Ryan for the open Ohio Senate seat.

If so, the question turns to how big a majority they might have.
