The following statement may be attributed to Representative Steve Stivers (R-OH), regarding his vote against H.R. 1:
“Article I, Section 4 of our Constitution is perfectly clear: our states run elections, not the federal government. H.R. 1 is an unconstitutional attempt by Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic majority to take over Ohio’s elections and undo the outstanding work of our Secretary of State and bipartisan election officials who guarantee Ohioans’ voices are heard.”
