Together with our Fair Districts Coalition and We Are Ohio partners, we held a press conference on June 9 to talk about SB 153 and HB 233 and the impact these bills would have on direct democracy in Ohio if passed. Featured speakers were Catherine Turcer, Executive Director of Common Cause Ohio. Jen Miller, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio, and Petee Talley, Regional Director of Ohio Unity Coalition. To watch, go here- http://bit.ly/43LPqE9

One victory at a time.

The League of Women Voters is heartened by this ruling, which is a major victory for voters across the country. While the fight is far from over, we're glad the court agreed that a President cannot ‘short-circuit’ Congress and unilaterally use an illegal executive order to obliterate the rights of millions of voters. https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/federal-court-blocks-part-anti-voter-trump-executive-order-challenged

📃Buried in the Ohio House version of the state budget bill is a dangerous amendment that would eliminate the Ohio Elections Commission, the independent body responsible for enforcing state campaign finance laws.

🙈This amendment would put state level politicians in charge of investigating state level politicians. Allowing elected officials and their allies to oversee violations of the rules that govern their own campaigns sets up a system ripe for favoritism and selective enforcement.

🗳 Local Boards of Elections would also be forced to deal with yet another unfunded mandate, adding more responsibilities without providing any resources to make sure they have the staff and time to focus on keeping elections secure.

📲 The budget bill now goes to the Ohio Senate Finance Committee- go here to tell them to reject this amendment from the Ohio budget: bit.ly/ProtectCampaignFinanceOversight
