Kaptur Statement on Ohio Republicans’ Efforts to Limit Voter
Access
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) released the following
statement on Ohio Republican officials’ efforts to curtail
early voting and on the stay issued by SCOTUS on Monday:
“This afternoon Republican
Supreme Court appointees have sided with Ohio Republicans
who have again and again tried to make it harder for Ohioans
to access the ballot. Rather than supporting the spirit of
the Voting Rights Act and more voter participation,
Republicans have again sent our election process into a
state of confusion. It isn’t coincidence that the same
Supreme Court that gave corporations free reign in campaign
spending is now limiting voting hours for individuals.

“One thing is clear: The
Republican Party is laser focused on making the voting
process less inclusive and harder for working men and women,
seniors, and disabled Ohioans.
“Voting rights advocates
have already won six court battles surrounding access to the
polls and we will win again. Meanwhile, vigilance will
combat efforts to suppress voting in Ohio. Every citizen
can register their disappointment and register to vote
before October 6th at local libraries, Bureau of
Motor Vehicles offices, and Boards of Elections to name a
few.” |
