6, 2021, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who has pushed false claims of widespread fraud during the 2020 election — had cut videos in recent days in support of both measures. But unlike other springtime races in the purple state in recent years, the ballot measures did not attract much attention or spending from outside groups.
