The effort against Issue 1, which would amend the constitution to protect abortion rights, raised just under $10 million in the same period, according to Thursday's filings. The campaign against Issue 1, called Protect Women Ohio, accepted more than half its donations in the final months of the race from Protect Women Ohio Action Inc., a committee associated with the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. It's been harder for campaigns against abortion rights to get traction, Lenkowsky said. In Ohio, an August special election that would have swayed November's election went in the direction of abortion rights supporters, which likely made anti-abortion donors less willing to keep giving. Amy Natoce, press secretary of Protect Women Ohio, criticized the pro-Issue 1 campaign's outside funding in a statement to The Associated Press.

Just half of the public said that they had helped friends or neighbors informally during the year—e.g., lending tools, tending children—and few did so frequently. Since pandemic social-distancing rules were operating in parts of the country in this period, such findings are not entirely surprising. But they also reflect trends with a longer arc, such as the decadeslong decline in the membership of social and civic groups. The U.S. seems to have gone from “a nation of joiners” (as the historian Arthur Schlesinger Sr. put it in 1944) to “a nation of spectators” (as a blue-ribbon commission declared at the end of the 1990s). More than a few people, following a theme in Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” worry that reduced social involvement will weaken the skills and customs needed for democratic government.
