Our Right to Vote is Under Attack — Statement from Desiree Tims

Most Ohioans believe every eligible person should be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Our laws should help everyone participate in the process.

But Ohio’s Republican supermajority just introduced a bill to do the opposite.

HB 294 is worse than voter suppression. It’s voter selection. It would let Ohio’s Republican supermajority decide who gets to vote, and who doesn’t.

This bill would:

• Cut early voting hours
• Severely limit ballot drop boxes
• Limit access to absentee ballots
• Force most Ohioans to pay for postage on absentee ballots and ballot request forms
• Make it 100x easier to vote in some small counties than in major urban areas

They’re trying to choose which of us can vote. Plain and simple. We cannot let them succeed.

Tell House Speaker Bob Cupp to kill HB 294. Tell him Ohio is watching.

• Phone: 614-466-9624
• Email: Rep04@OhioHouse.gov
• Or contact him via Twitter

It will take all of us together to stop this attack on our freedoms.

In Solidarity,
