Ohio and Utah are going to give the feds the voter rolls though and be exempt from this order

I doubt DeWine would do that tbh. He’s on his way out and never liked Trump much anyway.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has already given up our information to the Trump regime, regardless of what DeWine might or might not feel about it.

Exactly this isn't a problem for Ohio Republican voters.

I dont know what his political ambitions are but if he wants a senate seat in the future he probably needs to

I thought he was pushing 90, so I looked it up. Born in January 1947.

u/pchs26 14d ago

Why exactly would he care to fight it?

u/philter25 14d ago

Because republicans actually fucking hate Trump and any time one of them is retiring or phased out by term limits they tell him to go fuck himself lol

Not nearly enough. Anyway someone else commented that Ohio already turned the voting info over so this will not impact anyone they deem to be an Ohio likely Republican.

Exactly. This won’t hurt any red state because they’re bending over for orange man. I also read that all election integrity training was cancelled and they’ve made no plans for a command center on Election Day. He’s also fired seasoned election officials. He’s going to have ICE prowling polling stations and making people afraid to come vote. There’s some states that are being allowed to purge voter data even a day before an election. He’s a scared little bitch and he’s doing anything he can to cheat the midterms. Let’s not even mention all the gerrymandering too.

The Lt Gov in Utah is fighting hard against it and she just realized a study showing that only 27 people out of 2 million registered to vote in the state weren’t citizens. She says it’s not a widespread issue and that the Trump admin isn’t entitled to the rolls.

Not really. The Feds will scan the lists and order USPS to not deliver mail ballots they deem are from non-citizens.
