(CNN) - Ohio voters will repeal a controversial law Tuesday limiting the collective-bargaining rights of public workers, CNN projects based on reported results.
The measure was a referendum on state Senate bill 5, the latest in a showdown between union groups, business leaders and lawmakers over the ways state governments negotiate with their employees.

Yes! Happy dance!
Perhaps people are finally waking up!
Stand up United.
Together we are strong.
Congrats Ohio!
Here's a tip for the GOP Tea party pass the American Jobs Act now!!! Or face the back hand of the American People.
Let the layoffs begin!
Kasich went from Lehman Bros to Ohio governor. He tried to do Wall Street's biddings, but Ohio said go back to Wall Street.
Go Buckeyes! Now onto removing the GOBP deathcultists from office in 2012.
That's too bad, unions are killing this country!
GO OHIO!!!! The country is proud of you!
DEMOCRACY is still alive and well! Hoorah!
Good for Ohio. End the assault on the middle class, the teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, etc. Those professions are both Repubs, Dems and Independents. I think ye olde guvnor forgot that.
yesh..now mah ma and i cn totaly get our welfaire cheks. thx ohiao and obama
anyone shocked? unions spent millions of tax payer dollars to save their corrupt organizations. a big loss for the tax payer.
Guess the people have spoken. Mess with the rights of people to negotiate their salaries and benefits and they come right back to haunt you.
A victory for the middle class,take that Koch brothers.
Power to the people!
If you didn't see that coming well....It was only a matter of time before the Dems got tired of being pushed around by the radicals on the other side and pushed back...with that said, I'm getting a bucket of popcorn and reading the forums tonight and tomorrow...this is going to be good!
woo hoo! 2012 is going to be a great year for liberals.
Congratualations Ohio. Your next step should be to RECALL KASICH, and don't vote for the greedy, obstructionist, bigoted Repbulicans with their UNCONSIONABLE policies. These Republicans have repeatedly shown they DO NOT CARE about you and your family.
Good job. Ohio!
Unions can continue to bankrupt Ohio government. Way to go.
I am proud of my home state of Ohio. Kasich thought he could go in and "bully" the people of Ohio and force his agenda on the publc. Not allowing the worker a seat at the table is wrong and Kasich was sent a message.
Good. It was obviously unconstitutional in the first place.
It's good some states are standing up to these extremist neo-cons. These modern day republicans are following the same path Adolf Hitler took in the late 1930's.
Good for the folks in Ohio! They see how the Republicans run roughshod over the working class and fight to protect the rights of working people. The tide is turning...
With this development, Cain's fail of a speech, and Maine restoring election day voter registration, the Kochs just had a real bad day.
Congratulations to the Ohio voters! You all have made me proud to be an American today.
