Ohio has rejected a Republican motion to make it harder to change the state's constitution - a move seen as a defeat for anti-abortion groups.
The Republican-controlled state legislature had hoped to raise the bar for constitutional amendments to 60% instead of a simple majority.
It was largely seen as a move to derail a planned referendum to place abortion rights into the constitution.
US President Joe Biden called it a “victory for democracy and for women”.
