Ohio League Fights Voter ID Laws Got ID

GotID logo
This week, Ohio’s State Senate is set to pass HB-159, which would require every voter to present a specific photo ID before they vote. The problem is that 900,000 Ohio voters don’t have the right ID.

Ohio’s Secretary of State, Jon Husted, has come out in opposition of the bill. It’s up to us to stop our Senators from passing this irresponsible legislation.

Speak up to stop HB-159 today!

#GotID?

GotID litThink your vote counts? Thanks to new regulations, 20 percent of 18-29 year olds will be turned away at the polls without updated IDs.

These laws are intended to silence an entire demographic of voters and change election outcomes. We need to get organized and make sure our voice is heard. #GotID?
