Ohio Voter ID in the Constitution | Cincinnati News

Ohio’s voters face a pivotal showdown over Issue Three—a constitutional amendment to cement photo ID requirements for voting. Pushed by Republicans and Vivek Ramaswamy, it seeks to enshrine existing state law into the state’s permanent charter, arguing elections need extra protection amid national concerns about voter fraud. But Democrats push back, questioning the urgency and resources spent on this measure when Ohioans grapple with affordability and other pressing issues. Even Governor’s candidate Dr. Amy Acton, who opposes Ramaswamy, says she’ll support the amendment—so long as it doesn’t alter current law and ensures free, accessible IDs for all eligible voters. As election day nears, this debate could reshape how Ohioans view voting rights and political priorities. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
