Update on SB71 The DATA Act June 9, 2023:
It appears our Ohio government is once again on a path to fail We The People and serious Election Integrity reform in Ohio. The Senate budget includes $5 million to fund The DATA Act (SB71). When introducing The DATA Act on February 22, 2023, sponsor Senator Gavarone stated "Voter fraud, including dead people voting, non-citizens trying to register and double voting; it's happened, it's happened here in Ohio. Having good data to help clean the voter rolls will help make it tougher to cheat and result in better elections and improved voter confidence". However, The DATA Act does not keep dead people from voting; The DATA Act does not keep non-citizens from registering to vote in Ohio; The DATA Act does not prevent double voting. Concerned Ohio citizens have researched election data in Ohio and proposed SB71 The DATA Act improvements to the Ohio Senate, the Secretary of State, and the Ohio House; however, our Ohio government has decided NOT to include even one proposed improvement, which include the following:
Perform a one-time cleanup of hundreds of thousands of voter registration records that don't meet Secretary of State's own Election Official Manual guidelines.
Investigate the hundreds of thousands of individuals who exist on Ohio's voter registration database and haven't voted in over 6 years, which is against the Ohio Constitution and may not be in accordance with federal and state law. Allow county Boards of Elections to remove illegitimate voter registrations immediately, including the hundreds of thousands of electors who have moved to another state and are registered in another state.
Screen new voter registrations for proper data entry, duplicate records, identity and citizenship verification.
Include an online repository of many public election records on the new SB71 Dashboard, including Cast Vote Records
This leaves concerned Ohioan's to believe citizenship verification, identity verification and a clean voter registration database is not a high priority among our Ohio government officials who expect Ohio citizens to believe them when they say "Ohio's elections are secure and accurate". Only when Ohio citizens research and discover the TRUTH in Ohio's elections do Ohio citizens realize there are many election issues in Ohio, and that SB71 The DATA Act, at a cost of 5 million Ohio taxpayer dollars, does not in any way significantly improve the integrity of Ohio's elections. We The People need to reach out to our Ohio Senators, House Representatives and Secretary of State and demand true election reform with a clean voter registration database, citizenship verification, and identity verification of all individuals registering to vote.
