Voter Registration Battle Taking Place in Ohio Ahead of Midterms

As the November elections approach, a recent court case is shaking up the secretary of state race in Ohio. On Tuesday, Northern District of Ohio Judge Solomon Oliver put on hold a state law that requires proof of citizenship for those wishing to register in person at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, citing the National Voter Registration Act

Among those reacting to the decision are candidates running to oversee Ohio’s elections, including Republican Robert Sprague.

The Sprague for Secretary of State campaign manager, Dalton Throckmorton, provided a statement for the Daily Signal targeting state Rep. Allison Russo, the Democratic nominee for Ohio Secretary of State.

“In addition to this liberal activist judge telling Ohio it cannot check for citizenship, Allison Russo is fighting photo ID in elections and voted against legislation to prevent illegal aliens from voting in Ohio elections.  Democrats have a plan to dismantle election security in this state, which is precisely why we need to put photo ID in Ohio’s Constitution with Issue 3,” he said, referring to an initiative on the ballot for voters this November.

Dennis Willard, communications director for Russo’s campaign, responded to the Daily Signal, while also highlighting parts of Oliver’s decision.

“Mr. Sprague once again has his facts wrong and is attempting to confuse the public. Citizenship is already checked for new voter registrations, and this decision does not change this. The issue here is about the BMV not offering voter registration to all eligible applicants, not just those who get a driver’s license and happen to show up with extra paperwork,” Willard said.
