Ohio State Rep. Alicia Reece Disappointed with US Supreme Court Early Vote Decision

Announces voting rights action summit

Cincinnati, OH- Ohio State Representative Alicia Reece, Chair of Ohioans for a Voters Bill of Rights, issued the following statement in response to the US Supreme Court ruling to block early voting:

"I am not shocked. This is a prime example of why we need a constitutional amendment for a Voters Bill of Rights.  This will only get done by the people, for the people. We are calling on everyone to take action by signing the petition. It's time to mobilize!" says Rep. Reece, who announced today a statewide Voting Rights Action Summit to be held October 11th, at Trinity Baptist Church, 461 St. Clair Ave, Columbus, Ohio. 

The Voter Bill of Rights is a nonpartisan, grassroots effort to protect voting rights in Ohio by putting a state constitutional amendment on the ballot before Ohioans. The movement has already collected over 100,000 paper signatures statewide, and has launched a voting rights hotline: 1-800-611-3371.

Rep. Reece will be the featured speaker at Elyria and Toledo NAACP Freedom Fund Dinners on October 4th and 25th to gather petition signatures and talk about the importance of voting.
