‘Most Stringent’ Voter ID Effort to Make Moves in Ohio
The Ohio Senate is expected to take up a vote in the coming days on a resolution that could produce one of the strongest voter ID laws in the country.
“If this is passed by the voters, this will be the most stringent voter ID law in the country,” state Sen. Jane Timken, the sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 10, told the Daily Signal.
The resolution is currently in the Senate General Government Committee and is expecting a vote this week.
Although Ohio currently has voter ID, a state amendment would further solidify the law. Timken referenced Virginia as an example where voter ID was required until a later legislature “completely gutted that law and overturned it.”
Another reason for the proposed amendment, Timken argued, is to help voter participation. “The more voters trust the election, the more they participate,” she said.
Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for governor, has called for a ballot initiative that would enshrine voter ID in the state constitution. State lawmakers acted quickly to introduce such an effort.
