| Ohio Voters Reject Same-Sex Marriage Pioneer in a Landslide |
| by Ben Johnson |
| The man behind the Supreme Court case that redefined marriage nationwide lost his bid to enter the lowest rung of state politics by a landslide on Tuesday. Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case, ran as a Democrat for the Ohio House of Representatives, losing by 23 percentage points in a district that is 57% Republican. Republican State Rep. D.J. Swearingen (R-Huron) vastly outperformed that metric while burying Obergefell in a 61% to 38% electoral blowout. |

| by Marjorie Jackson |

Some, such as Fox News's Jesse Watters, have gone so far as to say that single women were what stood between Republicans and their anticipated red wave. |
