Great news out of Ohio.
The Ohio Senate passed a resolution requiring voter ID.
It was a 22-9 vote.
It now heads to the House.
It would then be put on the ballot in November.
In haste, the Ohio Senate has advanced Senate Joint Resolution 10, asking Ohioans statewide about what identification they should need to vote.
The constitutional amendment still needs a floor vote in the House, which seems likely next week, to make it onto November ballots. The Senate floor vote was 22-9.
Photo ID is required on Election Day in Ohio, and it has been since 2023, but state GOP leaders have said the law they fought to get to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk three years ago isn’t enough. They want voters to decide whether to codify existing ID requirements in the state constitution.
“Amending our constitution should never be taken lightly,” Sen. Theresa Gavarone (R-Bowling Green) testified Wednesday. “And the General Assembly will not have the final say on the matter before us today.”
Trump celebrated the news on Truth Social, saying, “Congratulations to the Ohio State Senate for passing Senate Joint Resolution 10, which would require VOTER I.D. in Ohio Elections! Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT.”
Trump also called on the House to pass the resolution, “I am now asking all of my Republican friends in the State House to, also, PASS THIS NOW, and put a Constitutional Amendment on the Ballot so that the Great People of Ohio can vote to enshrine VOTER I.D. in the State Constitution.”
Congratulations to the Ohio State Senate for passing Senate Joint Resolution 10, which would require VOTER I.D. in Ohio Elections! Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. I am now asking all of my Republican friends in the State House to, also, PASS THIS NOW, and put a Constitutional Amendment on the Ballot so that the Great People of Ohio can vote to enshrine VOTER I.D. in the State Constitution. I will be watching, and am strongly supportive of this Resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
