Threats to Your Right to Vote
in Ohio and the Federal SAVE Act
On October 28th, the General Government Committee had its fourth hearing for testimony on SB 153. At this point, opponents, proponents, and interested parties have had an opportunity to either submit written testimony or speak at the Statehouse in person.
Here's what happened:
-
114 pieces of opponent testimony submitted
-
3 proponent testimonies (including Secretary of State Frank LaRose)
That's a 38-to-1 opposition ratio.
Yet this bill is still sitting in committee, waiting for a vote to move to the Senate
On May 27th--with little advance notice--the Ohio Senate General Government Committee held its 3rd hearing on SB 153
"Require citizenship verification before an elector may vote,"
the state's version of the Federal SAVE Act.
Over 20 people testified, including David Pepper opposing the bill. Co-sponsor Senator Theresa Gavarone seemed annoyed by Pepper by the end of his testimony.

Threat to Your Right to Vote
in the Federal SAVE Act
Tell your Senators Moreno & Husted to
protect voting rights.
Tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act.
Latta and the House already voted "Yea"
On April 10th, the House of Representatives
passed the SAVE Act voter suppression bill
220 to 208, including 4 Dems who voted for it!
Watch the video as Democracy Docket sounds the alarm.
Because we can't trust our own Sec. of State LaRose to tell the truth, watch the video with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson as she explains how bad the SAVE Act is.
