Democratic law firm files lawsuit against Ohio's new election law
Fox News
Elias Law Group filed a lawsuit against the new election law in Ohio claiming it "imposes needless and discriminatory burdens" on groups including military veterans and teachers.
The litigation notes that Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose, the defendant, and state Sen. Theresa Gavarone, who oversaw insertion of the most stringent provisions into the bill, both have lauded Ohio's exemplary administration of the 2020 election.
Yet, it alleges, lawmakers "leveraged false allegations of widespread election fraud" to justify the bill, making it "significantly harder for lawful voters — particularly young, elderly, and Black Ohioans, as well as military servicemembers and other Ohioans living abroad — to exercise their fundamental right to participate in the state’s elections."
