Tell your state senator to vote NO on #Ohio HB 472 if it reaches the Senate floor today. There's no reason to rush a bill this big. And there's no excuse for blocking citizens from voting by mail. 📲Find your senator by typing your address below this map: ohiosenate.gov/members/dist...

#Ohio Republicans' new voter suppression bill also fails to protect Ohioans in the Safe At Home address confidentiality program‼️ They're exempted from providing their address, but their address will be listed on the copy of their ID that they’re forced to upload and/or send through the mail….

#Ohio Republicans plan to pass a NEW bill THIS WEEK requiring photo ID for mail-in ballots‼️ Ohioans would need to: —Find a scanner —Learn to use a scanner —Likely pay to scan/print a copy of their ID —Trust the mail enough to mail a copy of their ID along with their ballot

Ohio Republicans are about to introduce a new constitutional amendment — paving the way for the state to ban all voting outside of in-person on Election Day‼️‼️ They're pretending it's about voter ID laws (which Ohio already already has). But it's actually about that hidden sentence right at the end
