The upcoming Ohio Ballot Measure, known as Issue 1, has sparked a debate over abortion rights in the state. Supporters argue that a yes vote will defend against out-of-state interference, while opponents claim it will give special interests an advantage. However, an analysis of campaign finance data reveals that both sides are largely funded by out-of-state donors. The coalition supporting Issue 1 is primarily funded by billionaire Richard Uihlein, while the opposition, called One Person One Vote, received significant contributions from dark money groups. Both sides have also been involved in spreading misinformation about the measure.
