Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

This week, I presented to a group of legislators and election experts from across the country on legislation I have sponsored to ensure Ohio’s elections are secure!
Legislation I’ve sponsored that are now law includes:
✅ Require photo ID to vote
✅ citizenship requirement to vote
✅ Clean voter rolls so only verified registered Ohioans can vote - no fictitious or deceased voters on our rolls
✅ DATA Act - innovative legislation for clean election data
✅ Stringent post-election audit requirements and the creation of the cyber reserve team
Ohio will continue to be the gold standard!
Steve Roberts retweeted
Time to enshrine a photo ID requirement to vote in Ohio’s state constitution. President Trump supports it, I support it, and most Ohioans support it. Vote YES on Issue 3 this November.
Proud of Team Lex for another year of being recognized by @ChambersGuides. Thank you to our clients and friends who endorsed our legal services!

It's not that California doesn't have the ability to count all their ballots in a timely fashion.
It's that they deliberately choose not to.
And it's the reason why one of the first things I will do as a member of Congress is co-sponsor the SAVE America Act.

The @ohiogop leadership is taking election integrity seriously. Putting common-sense photo ID in our state constitution is the logical next step to continuing to make Ohio the most secure state to cast a ballot. Thank you @JaneTimkenOH for your amazing leadership! 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸
Steve Roberts retweeted
Thank you Mr. President! The @ohiogop with our leaders like @RobertCSprague, @matthuffman1, @Rob_McColley, @VivekGRamaswamy are fighting in Ohio to put this in our state constitution! We will get it done!

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.
Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation.
Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others.
The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.”
Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”?
Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy.
As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech.
The FCC welcomes your views:

Deep thanks to @TheRepLawyer for having me back! Signed so many books—I hope my penmanship did not deteriorate too badly as I went along! Two down, one to go.
📚⚖️An RNLA favorite, @Newsmax Chief Washington Correspondent @JamesrosenTV regales RNLA members with some of his little-known tales about beloved former SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia and his second installment of the Scalia chronicles: Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986 to 2001
Great article @KaelanDC
Lex Politica Partner, Steve Roberts, quoted in @dcexaminer:
“If Eric Swalwell was campaigning for governor instead of his congressional seat while using his federal campaign to pay childcare expenses, he and his campaign could be on the hook for hefty financial penalties.”

Steve Roberts retweeted
Lex Politica Partner, @SteveP_Roberts told @washingtonsun:
"Campaign funds can’t subsidize child care that exists independent of a candidate’s congressional campaign. In fact, the FEC issued a direct advisory opinion in 2022 to Eric Swalwell and his campaign denying express permission to travel ‘for other entities,’ even in his capacity as a member of Congress"
New: Former Rep. Eric Swalwell spent thousands from his House campaign on childcare even after he announced his California gubernatorial run and abandoned re-election.

Save Election Day's Nicole Kelly and @SteveP_Roberts piece in @dailycaller discussing the huge impact that Watson v. RNC could have on our elections: eliminating post-election receipt periods for mail-in-ballots.
"Even if the Supreme Court makes a move towards restoring Election Day to its former glory, it’s time for states to seize the moment and enact further sweeping reforms to safeguard the integrity of our votes."

No state has issued a more comprehensive set of security-specific protocols than Ohio during my administration.
This week, I issued the seventh election security directive of this administration, reinforcing physical and cybersecurity protections for Ohio’s critical elections infrastructure in light of the growing foreign cyber threat landscape.
