In case you’re keeping track, federal judges have denied DOJ access to states’ non-public voting files 8 times. But, Ohio’s SOS delivered our private data on a platter and hasn’t provided any details on what exactly was handed over or safeguards.

Gas prices in Berea and Middleburg Heights, Ohio tonight. Thanks, Trump.

Today’s deeply partisan ruling by the Supreme Court lays bare a troubling indifference to the rights of Black and minority voters across this nation. At a moment when our democracy demands vigilance and inclusion, this Court’s Republican-appointed majority has chosen instead to erode the very safeguards designed to ensure fair representation. In doing so, it cements a legacy that may rank among the most hostile to voting rights in over a century.

The weakening of the Voting Rights Act is not a technical adjustment—it is a profound betrayal of the democratic promise. It undermines decades of hard-fought progress and signals to millions of Americans that their voices can be diminished or disregarded. A healthy democracy depends on equal access to the ballot and fair representation in the halls of power. By chipping away at these protections, the Court risks tipping that balance further away from equity and justice.

Learn what they want to do, what they think about their opponents & who they think won the 2020 election... + more.

Congrats to my good friend Allison Russo. I’ve worked with her closely for three years in the Ohio House of Representatives. She knows the issues that matter most to Ohioans. She has my resounding endorsement for Secretary of State.

I’m incredibly honored to announce that I have received the endorsement and unanimous support of the @OhioEA in my campaign for Ohio Secretary of State! Our educators know better than anyone that a healthy democracy starts with an engaged, informed, and empowered community. As Secretary of State, I’m committed to protecting the right to vote, modernizing our elections, and ensuring that every Ohioan—from our classrooms to our boardrooms—has their voice heard at the ballot box. Together, we’re building a future where democracy is accessible for all. Let’s get to work!💪📚📓🍎🗳️

Maybe instead of spreading more disinformation about the “dirty” voter rolls you’ve had the primary responsibility for maintaining for the last 8 years, you can share with the public exactly what voter information was recently shared with federal entities and any use agreements you entered into with those entities in exchange for voter data not publicly available. Ohioans deserve that transparency, which is exactly what my bill requires.

Government use of personal information relies on public trust, and Ohio has a compelling interest and obligation in protecting individuals’ privacy and personal information. Trust is built when agencies are transparent about data collection policies, provide clear, plain-language privacy notices, and use data only for the purpose explained to the public. 2/2

[Allison Russo @Russo4Ohio]

While Ohio’s current Secretary of State plays fast and loose with 8 million Ohioans’ personally identifiable information, I’m working to protect your privacy. This week I introduced the Ohio Privacy Act, which mirrors the federal Privacy Act and provides clarity in how state agencies and employers must maintain, use, and disseminate your personal information. 1/2

BREAKING: The U.S. Justice Department confirmed in court Thursday that it is sharing sensitive voter data with Homeland Security. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has given the Trump Justice Department personal info for 8 million Ohio voters. https://t.co/qs9hvMh8s1

@JustinBarasky And, then he doubles down and puts it in writing.

[Allison Russo @Russo4Ohio]

“I don’t make the laws.” He was the Speaker of the Ohio House before he was the SOS, so he did, in fact, make the laws.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Brianna Keilar: You were Ohio Secretary of State for eight years. Would you agree that you ran safe and secure elections?

Jon Husted: Of course we did.

Keilar: You could use a utility bill, or a bank statement, or a government check as an acceptable form of ID, so why is that not acceptable now?

It should not be a hard decision by anyone to donate/give back political contributions when they become tainted by scandal and corruption. Yet, we still have Ohio politicians and campaign funds clinging to their Wexner contributions…and First Energy and ECOT before that.

These are the comments of a dictator, not a president. They’re a five-alarm fire for election security and our democracy. “Nationalizing” our election process is a straight path to large-scale election interference, which is exactly what Trump seems to be trying to achieve now.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia."
