\u201cHouse Bill 472 would not discourage fraud, would not add any real security, and would create an additional and significant burden for Ohioans who vote by mail,\u201d he said on Wednesday. \u201cThis bill is not needed, because Ohio does an excellent job running elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further claimed that \u201crequiring the photo ID for the mail-in ballot process does not provide election officials with any opportunity to verify if the ID picture matches the face of the voter and thereby serves no additional verification of the voter\u2019s true identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOhio Reps. Christine Cockley, D-Columbus, and Jodi Salvo, R-Bolivar, introduced the original bill last year and it passed the House with a near-unanimous vote.\u201d Ohio Capital Journal reported. \u201cOhio Republican Senators added the absentee ballot portion to the bill, saying it would strengthen election integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Establishment Republicans are pro-cheating. They claim elections are clean and block vote fraud investigations.
\nYou have to view Establishment Republicans as a Democrat fifth column.
\nNever vote for an Establishment Republican, once in they are hard to kick out.<\/p>\n

Yet another Democrat pretending to be a Republican. Many such governors, all must be primaried.<\/p>\n

This is no surprise to me! After all, his administration saw the Somalian fraud problem as \u201cthe cost of doing business.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s mad because Ohio is saying bye-bye to his Haitian friends. So glad he\u2019s won\u2019t be around much longer.<\/p>\n

He vetoed a thing 83% of voters support. When the people given this power without voter ID deny election integrity laws, pay attention.<\/p>\n
