In a ballot referendum this evening, voters in Ohio easily rejected the individual mandate element of ObamaCare. Ohio becomes the latest electorate to reject the unpopular government-run health care legislation’s central and unconstitutional element.

Voters in Ohio have approved a ballot measure intended to keep government from requiring Ohioans to participate in any health care system.

The constitutional amendment passed is largely symbolic, coming in response to the 2009 federal health care overhaul, a provision of which mandates that most Americans purchase health care.

Supporters hope it will prompt a challenge of the overhaul before the U.S. Supreme Court.

It’s largely symbolic because federal law trumps state law, but it demonstrates voter dissatisfaction with ObamaCare and effectively prevents Ohio from instituting a RomneyCare-style program as was implemented in Massachusetts. So there’s some good news.
