Columbus, OH- This week, a new report revealed that in Ohio’s far too frequent voter purges, Secretary of State Frank LaRose has failed to safeguard against eligible voters getting removed from the rolls.  The report singled out Ohio for having the “worst removal practices” when it came to purging eligible voters.

The report further explained that “at nearly every turn, the state makes it hard for voters to stay on the registration rolls, and the totality of Ohio’s removal practices […] make it likely that eligible voters will be improperly purged.”

LaRose claims that in Ohio’s elections, “it’s easy to vote and hard to cheat” but continues with his aggressive voter purges that clearly disenfranchises eligible voters, and disproportionately minority voters. He wants to have it both ways, at the expense of Ohio voters.

“After three statewide losses in a row and a fourth on the way, it’s frankly unsurprising that LaRose is resorting to indiscriminately kicking voters off the rolls,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “This report confirms what voters have seen unfold for years: Ohio Republicans know they can’t win on their own.

Columbus, OH – After NBC News caught Bernie Moreno “preparing a return to the auto industry,” Moreno is “under scrutiny” for lying to Ohioans and claiming he “sold off all of his businesses to avoid conflicts of interest.”

Five More Times Bernie Moreno Lied To Ohioans That He “Sold Off All Of His Businesses To Avoid Conflicts Of Interest” While Taking Steps to Open A New Car Dealership:

1. MORENO: “I’ve sold all my business, divested myself from any conflicts of interest because I believe something pretty obvious that when you run for office or serve in office you should have no conflicts of interest. So every one of my businesses is gone.” [00:16, 8/5/24]

2. MORENO: “I’ve sold interest in every business, I don’t have any individual stocks. Because I think it’s important to set an example when you go to DC, you should have zero conflicts of interest.” [06:08, 3/20/24]

3. MORENO: “… if you hire me to go to Washington DC, you should know that I’m going there to serve you with zero conflicts of interest, so no individual stocks, no companies.” [1:59:57, 7/29/23]

4. MORENO: “​​I’ve divested myself of all conflicts… This isn’t about building wealth, or becoming famous, or getting stuff for my family, this is about serving my country.”

INTERVIEWER: “You still have your businesses, though. Correct?”

MORENO: “Nope, sold them.”

INTERVIEWER: “They’re all, they’re all gone. All gone?”

MORENO: “All gone, yep.” [00:34, 5/22/23]

5. MORENO: “I’ve sold all my businesses so I could focus on campaigning all day, every day.” [49:34, 6/25/24]

Columbus, OH- Last night on the debate stage, Senator JD Vance finally acknowledged that in 2023, Ohioans voted overwhelmingly against his position. . But what he didn’t say was that he called it a “gut punch” in a long rant on social media the following day. 

And of course, he immediately pivoted away from talking about Ohio, because he knew that he can’t escape his dangerous and disturbing record on abortion, women, and families that he’s on the run from now that he’s on the national ticket.

Ohioans know who JD Vance is and what he’s not telling voters.

 Ahead of November, we’re working to make sure that voters see that his dangerous and disturbing views on women and families are crystal clear.. 

So here’s a reminder about what JD Vance DIDN’T say:

He talked about returning abortion to the states, but he didn’t share that he openly celebrated the end of Roe v Wade, calling it a “great day.”

And he definitely didn’t acknowledge his 2022 interview where he said he’d “like abortion to be illegal nationally.”

He didn’t talk about how he was “100% pro-life” and wanted to “end abortion” only to scrub it from his website days before joining Donald Trump on the ticket.

He didn’t discuss his lies about Ohio’s abortion rights amendment, including that it would allow “taxpayer funded abortion up to the moment of birth.” And he definitely didn’t share how he spent last autumn campaigning vigorously against the amendment.

He didn’t tell the voters that when asked if there should be exceptions to abortion restrictions for rape and incest, he said that “two wrongs don’t make a right.” 

And he didn’t explain his vote against protecting the right to IVF.

Columbus, OH – With 5 weeks left until Election Day, Bernie Moreno continues to show Ohioans he is only looking out for himself – from his record of “stiffing workers” and “destroy[ing] evidence” to get out of paying his employees the wages they earned, to his recent comments mocking Ohio women for caring about making their own health care decisions and supporting a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year.

5 Weeks Till Election Day, Here’s What To Know About Bernie Moreno:

1. Moreno’s campaign has been “clouded” by a “slew of lawsuits for workers’ wages and workplace discrimination,” including over a dozen lawsuits where Moreno refused to pay his workers the overtime they earned, and he deliberately destroyed evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of it. Moreno was found liable for wage theft by a jury – forcing Moreno to pay over $400,000 in damages to his employees and settle over a dozen similar wage theft cases. After he got caught, Moreno repeatedly lied about the case and multiple fact-checks found his excuses “false.”

2. Moreno called Ohioans “a little crazy” for caring about a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions, said he is “100 percent pro-life with no exceptions,” and would vote for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans. Moreno also called the overturning of Roe v. Wade a “monumental victory,” and opposes protecting a woman’s right to access contraception, including birth control pills. Moreno is endorsed by SBA Pro-Life America, an organization that pledged to only back candidates who support a national abortion ban.

3. Moreno has been caught in lie after lie on the campaign trail and has faced scrutiny for the “string of inconsistencies that have dogged his campaign.” Moreno was caught repeatedly lying about selling the Chinese-made Buick Envision which contributed to “Ohio jobs being shipped overseas,” lying about his phony “rags-to-riches” story as the “signature pitch” of his campaign, and lying about “[selling] off all of his businesses” while spending nearly $50 million to open a new car dealership.

4. Moreno opposed the bipartisan bill to secure the border, opposed Sherrod’s bill to crack down on dangerous fentanyl, and said he won’t work across the aisle to fight for Ohio. Moreno opposed the bipartisan border security bill – which was backed by border patrol agents – and said he “would have opposed” the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act. When asked how he would work across the aisle, Moreno said he “reject[ed]” the question. In response, Moreno was slammed for having “no real interest” in advocating for Ohioans and being “intent on adding to [the] problem” in Washington.

5. Moreno isn’t the outsider he claims to be. Despite claiming he “built his car dealer empire all on his own,” Moreno actually received “much-needed handout[s],” “special favors,” and “financial assistance” and “leveraged his family connections” and the “Moreno Family cash reserves” to enrich himself. Moreno has exploited his insider political connections to boost his businesses and is “heavily invested” in and profited off of a family enrichment scheme with his brothers by funneling U.S. taxpayer money into banks that financed projects his family oversaw.
