RITE Applauds Gov. DeWine For Signing\u00a0New Election Integrity Measures Into Law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Derek Lyons, CEO and President of RITE \u2013 Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections \u2013 issued the following statement today, applauding Ohio Governor Mike DeWine for signing HB 458\u2019s election integrity reforms into law. Lyons said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVoters need to have 110% confidence in the system we use to run our elections, and HB 458\u2019s commonsense and broadly popular election security measures move Ohio closer to that essential goal. Elections are our republic\u2019s crown jewels and must be zealously safeguarded. Voter ID, drop-box security, and other policies that enable hard-working election officials to minimize errors and delays in ballot distribution, collection, and tabulation help ensure that elections do what they are intended to do: express the will of the people, quickly and accurately. RITE applauds Ohio for continuing to be a leader in this vital area of public policy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOhio\u2019s reforms are lawful and will prevent fraud and other misconduct while promoting confidence in elections going forward. The United States Supreme Court and other courts have already upheld similar laws in Indiana, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Virginia \u2013 all states where turnout has increased in recent years. RITE is confident that these new reforms will withstand partisan litigation attacks by those with more to gain by casting aspersions on their political opponents than by promoting faith and trust in our elections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n About RITE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Co-founded in 2022 by National Finance Chairman Steve Wynn, Senior Advisor Karl Rove, and Chairman of the Board Bobby R.
