What was the spending on this election?

I suspect it was all about outside spending making sure they had influence in Ohio in the future.

This article shows the Republican "yes" vote effort was outspent over three to one by far left groups. Both were mostly funded by sources outside the state.

Leftist groups spent 14.8 million. Pro-Yes votes spent 4.8 million.

Not that hard to predict huge turnout and defeat with a three to one spending margin.

Maybe the architects of this election should have anticipated the pushback. It’s not as though Ohio was the first state to have a battle royale over what at least indirectly was to be fought over abortion access.

Both sides were predominantly funded by outsiders. It’s just that the “pro” side did an inadequate job of fundraising.

That said, it wasn’t even close, so probably a few million more dollars wouldn’t have altered the outcome.

Large turnout (through cheating). Not that we can believe any vote totals (I am sure another massive vote by mail ballot harvest). Not only that but the money likely came from out of state and an army of donor mules and phantom voters.

I am sure Planned Parenthood pays of both Dem and RINOs for the results they want. Elections numbers in this country can never be trusted. Voters will never have the power of the vote, those in power will never surrender that power. Why do you think they are going after Trump so hard?

They (both sides leaders) want to destroy any chance of free and fair elections.

Don’t put a stupid election in august like you said you wouldn’t then money wouldn’t be an issue. Once again, democrats worked hard to win. Republicans shown once again they are lazy!
