Republican Voter Suppression – ‘Ohio Republicans Are Trying To Sneak A Voter Suppression Measure Into The Transportation Budget’

‘Under a last-minute addition to Ohio’s transportation budget, close to 116,000 college students will have to pay what a Democratic lawmaker is calling a “poll tax” in order to vote’.

‘A provision which would require people who move to the state and register to vote to re-register their cars with Ohio within 30 days. Otherwise, they would be required to surrender their driver’s licenses from their home state’.

• ‘If the provision is not removed, out-of-state college students will have to pay close to $100 to re-register their vehicles in Ohio in order to cast a ballot in their new home state’.
