Modernizing Election Security in Ohio - A Lasting Commitment

One illegal vote is one too many.

One illegal vote disenfranchises registered voters who cast their ballot legally.

One illegal vote jeopardizes the outcome of every election, especially at the local level.

Senator Theresa Gavarone joins the President's Podcast this week with a definitive call to upgrade Ohio's election security by modernizing the motto of "easy to vote and hard to cheat."

The Senate's Majority Whip highlights the need for three bills, one of which, Senate Bill 63, has already passed with a strong bipartisan vote. It would ban Ranked Choice Voting here at home. Ranked Choice is such a bad choice, complex and replete with significant opportunities for bad math and incorrect outcomes, that the potential incoming chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party joined the Senate's Minority Leader in voting to pass Senator Gavarone's bill.

The Bowling Green Republican is also leading the call for a new Election Integrity Unit at the Secretary of State's Office. It's a concept former senator and current Secretary of State Frank LaRose supports. It would investigate allegations of election fraud, while the third bill, Senate Bill 153 would build on the law Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved in 2022 that makes it clear anyone who votes in a local election must be a citizen of the United States and registerd to vote in Ohio. Over the last four years, the country has witnessed the danger of the Biden Administration's failure to secure the border, jeopardizing the security of the country and our elections.

Senator Gavarone talks about the recent arrest of a 24-year-old migrant who was attending Perrysburg High School, posing as a teenager and living with a unsuspecting family. These scenarios read like a nightmarish horror movie, but it is real life, and requires real planning and threat awareness to what evils may challenge our legal system, election system and society.
