NOW: Ohio Democrats are speaking out about harmful legislation being circulated by Statehouse Republicans that makes it harder for Ohioans to vote and takes Ohio backward in the fight for voting rights:

Senator @nickieantonio: "We should be removing barriers to the voting booth, not creating new ones."

Representative @robinsonforOH: "While many voting rights advocates are rightly concerned about the legislation in Georgia -- for the Ohio GOP, Georgia was simply a starting point."

. @repbridesweeney: "As far as I can tell, this bill will make it harder to vote and continue the traffic jams we saw at the dropbox in 2020."

Rep. Paula Hicks Hudson ( @phh4Toledo): "This bill is making it harder for citizens to be able to vote and that is not acceptable."

Ham. Co. Board of Elections Chair Gwen McFarlin: "Remember voting is not a privilege, it's a right."
