DeWine vetos voter suppression bill!
June 25, 2026

Governor DeWine did not any mince words when he announced his veto: “House Bill 472 would not discourage fraud, would not add any real security, and would create an additional and significant burden for Ohioans who vote by mail.” In addition, DeWine told Ohio Republicans that the bill is not needed “because Ohio does an excellent job running elections” and the bill would pose a burden to voters without any real benefit.
