Ohio agricultural groups scored an electoral victory Tuesday with the passage of a constitutional amendment creating a livestock care standards board and preempting a possible ballot campaign by the Humane Society of the United States.

Voters in the state backed Issue 2 with 1.95 million votes for the measure compared to 1.11 million votes against it, or 63.66 percent in support. The measure, which changes Ohio's state constitution, lost in only one county statewide.
