COLUMBUS, Ohio — Leaders of the Ohio Democratic Party say they have collected just more than 100,000 voter signatures ahead of a key state deadline to set a statewide election in November for a ballot measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

Since March, volunteers working with the Ohio Democratic Party have collected 100,637 signatures, state party Chair Liz Walters said in an interview on Tuesday.
