\u201cIn the same way\u00a0a bank or government asks for a photo ID to prevent fraud, asking for a photo ID is a reasonable method to verify a voter\u2019s identity. The reforms Ohio legislators are proposing will bolster the integrity of the ballot box in the Buckeye state, just as similar reforms in Georgia and Florida have enhanced voter trust there.”
\u201cAs it has done in Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere RITE is committed to defending reasonable laws that enhance election security against partisan attacks and manipulations. If Ohio lawmakers adopt new election integrity reforms, we will be ready to defend them in court because we know that voter confidence and participation go hand in hand.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0
