"Deceptive Information Surrounds Ohio Abortion Vote and Issue 1"

In the lead-up to Ohio's fall ballot, misinformation about a reproductive rights measure is being spread on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate. The website, called "On The Record," features attacks against Ohio news outlets, op-ed style columns by Republican state senators, and content generated by the Senate majority's communications staff. Critics argue that this is an improper use of a taxpayer-supported website and that it presents false or misleading narratives about the proposed amendment. Supporters of the constitutional amendment worry that the content posted on the government website might be interpreted by voters as objective information.
