A States United Action count finds nearly 200 Republicans who backed Trump's attempt to overturn 2020 on this November's ballot. Capital & Main profiled nine who have report cards on this site — six voted on Jan. 6 to throw out two states' results, and some won't say they'd certify the next one.
Vivek Ramaswamy pushed Ohio Republicans to put photo ID for voters into the state constitution, and it's on the November ballot. In 2024, Rhode Island election officials found dead residents' names on the nomination papers his presidential campaign submitted, and his campaign confirmed a hired signature-gatherer had forged them on purpose.
The Ohio Senate unanimously passed a one-year window for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to sue over assaults as old as 35 years. After Catholic Church lobbying, a House committee stripped it out. On March 29, 2006, state Rep. Bob Latta was one of 57 House members who voted against putting it back.

Roger Marshall, Jon Husted, Susan Collins, Juan Ciscomani, Jeff Crank, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Jason Smith and Derrick Van Orden are touting rural health grants in the final weeks of the campaign. KFF says the fund covers barely a third of what the same law takes out of rural Medicaid, and it runs out.
Ramaswamy's ad has Acton's estranged mother call her a liar about her childhood. Court records show the mother's husband was charged with raping Acton and the children were taken from them. After the backlash, Ramaswamy put $4 million behind it.
Vivek Ramaswamy says that as governor he would change Ohio law so 18- to 20-year-olds can buy handguns. He also dismisses the red flag laws and background checks most gun owners support, in a state where guns were the leading cause of death for kids in 2024.
Five weeks after calling an attack on Amy Acton something that 'must never be tolerated,' Jon Husted answered a beating at a Trump rally held for him by talking about the 'consequences' of interrupting — and admitted he hadn't watched the video.
A Mother Jones investigation found that Rep. Max Miller answers people who talk about the abuse allegations against him with threats — cease-and-desist letters to TV stations and a Democratic organizer, emails warning his ex-wife's lawyer he'd go public about a murder case, and a text to his ex-father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno.
