🚨 OHIO: 🚨 The omnibus voting bill HB 294 will be heard in committee TOMORROW. Let’s be clear: this bill is yet another attack on our fundamental freedom to vote. Republicans are bringing the same attacks to Ohio that we’ve already seen in Georgia and Florida. (1/4)
A democracy that works for us must include all of us. HB 294 makes voting LESS accessible. Like other anti-voter bills across the US, HB 294 restricts mail voting and drop box locations and availability, creates new ID requirements, and eliminates a day of early voting. (2/4)
HB 294 would change the cutoff for applying for a mail ballot from 3 days before the Election to 10. But in 2020, about 450,000 ballots were requested in the seven days HB 294 would eliminate and 90% were successfully returned and counted. (3/4)
It’s no coincidence that Republicans across the country are scrambling to restrict access to the ballot after Black, brown, and young voters turned out in HISTORIC numbers in 2020. Any bill that includes restrictions on our freedom to vote is a nonstarter—period. (4/4)
