00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Bill cunning in the Great America. Welcome this Monday afternoon

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the tri State. The weather is perfect. Can't say so

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>much about the Bengals. Some factoids that I want to

4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>go over with Franklin Rose on the Bengals. Lamar Jackson

5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 1>is nine and one the last ten games against the Bengals.

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Frank Leinarrose, is that good or bad? Lamar Jackson nine

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and one against the Bengals? Good or bad?

8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what. I'm a Browns fan and a

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>lot to be concerned about for all of us right

10
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>now in Ohio football.

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, going back to the first game of last year,

12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals are four and eleven against the AFC. Four

13
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and eleven. Is that good or bad?

14
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's good. You wouldn't accept those kind

15
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>of numbers when it comes to election integrity, that's for sure.

16
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Four and eleven plus Joe Burrow, as you know, in

17
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>the first two games of each season. Over the last

18
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>five he's one in nine in those games. But that's

19
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 1>better than the brown So Frank Leroe, Secretary of State,

20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and Frank Today

21
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow Big days. Can you tell the American people, What

22
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 1>is important about today and tomorrow other than the commemoration

23
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of the lives lost in October the seventh in and

24
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>around Israel. Give us a full report. What is today?

25
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>What is tomorrow?

26
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and obviously a somber day as it relates to that.

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be joining with the Ohio Jewish community

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>tonight in commemoration of the lives lost and recommitting ourselves

29
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that Israel has the right to defend

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>itself in its national sovereignty. As it relates to elections administration,

31
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>this is a busy time because today is the deadline

32
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>for voter registration. If you've been procrastinating that, you got

33
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>to get off the couch today because if you're not

34
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>registered to vote before midnight tonight, it is too late.

35
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>The easy way to do that is to go to

36
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>our website vote Ohio dot gov. You got to have

37
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>a state ID or a driver's license to use the

38
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>online voter registration at vote Ohio dot gov. Of course,

39
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>if you like the old paper dead wed ink format.

40
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 2>I've got all the boards of elections staying open late tonight,

41
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 2>so no excuse, every board of elections and my office

42
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>here in Columbus are staying open until nine pm to

43
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>accept the hard copy paper voter registration if that's how

44
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>you prefer to do it, as well, and maybe remind

45
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>a young person if you got somebody in your family

46
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 2>that turned eighteen this year, or even if they turn

47
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>eighteen in the next couple weeks, they got to get

48
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>to vote Ohio dot gov and get registered to vote. Tomorrow,

49
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>early voting starts, and listen, there's no excuse for not

50
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>voting in Ohio. The left likes to wring their hands

51
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and complain and say that we're making it harder to vote.

52
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 2>That's nonsense, it's demonstrably untrue. It's easier to vote than

53
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>it's ever been in human history, and that four weeks

54
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>of early voting starts tomorrow. You can vote in person

55
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>at your Board of Elections starting tomorrow morning. You can

56
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 2>find your location and hours at vote Ohio dot gov.

57
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow's also when absentee ballots go out in the mail,

58
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>so if you requested one already, those get mailed out tomorrow,

59
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 2>and there's still time to request an empty ballot. And

60
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>of course election day polls will be open from until

61
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>seven thirty pm, and that's in twenty eight days, twenty

62
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>one hours and twenty minutes.

63
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Frank LeRose, this sounds like a lot of voter suppression

64
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to me. I can see why the Democrats are unhappy

65
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 1>with this process. It's hard to vote, very difficult. You

66
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>can't get registered, very very very hard. But once again,

67
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 1>if you're on your couch listening this Monday afternoon, you

68
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>can actually register vote from your couch. And Tony Bender,

69
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>who lives in Foundmouth but often votes in Ohio, what

70
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>is the website If somebody on their couch eating their

71
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>bomb bonds and some and cheese doodles would like to

72
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>register to vote without leaving their couch, what is the website? Again,

73
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>this is all voter suppression, by the way, But what

74
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is the website?

75
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>It's vote Ohio dot gov. I'll tell you what, Willy.

76
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Even folks on the left know that's nonsense. There was

77
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>a poll I saw recently among Ohioans, even among Democrats,

78
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>over ninety percent believe that it is easy to vote

79
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. So left and those the handwringers on the

80
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>left people know it's bs.

81
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe any of that. It's just hard to vote.

82
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>You have all these rules and regulations. You got to

83
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>get an ID. I mean you got to get off

84
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>your couch. No, you don't have to get off your couch.

85
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 1>You stay on your couch and the absentee ballot comes

86
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 1>to your home. Just go to the mailbox, get it

87
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and vote. But that sounds terrible, very difficult. Can you

88
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>tell us again about State Issue one. There's a lot

89
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of misinformation out there about what is State Issue one?

90
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Go down the middle? What is statusue one? What does

91
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>this seek to do? If anything?

92
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, if you want to read all

93
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>thirteen thousand words that are included in this massive, massive,

94
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>proposed constitutional then the thirteen thousand words you can find

95
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>those on my website again vot Ohio dot gov. You

96
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>can see the official ballot language, which thankfully was upheld

97
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 2>by the Ohas Supreme Court. When we wrote that language,

98
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>we were brutally honest about what this thing is, and

99
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>thankfully the court upheld it because it is truthful. What

100
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 2>this is is a massive power grab by the left.

101
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>They want to try to change the way district lines

102
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>are drawn to give themselves an advantage in elections. And

103
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 2>it's important for Ohio voters to understand that this unelected,

104
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>unaccountable commission would be responsible for gerrymandering the state to

105
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>create a certain number of democratic districts. It's also important

106
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 2>for people to understand that who's paying for this. Twenty

107
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>six million dollars have already come in to support the

108
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>yes on Issue one side, and it's being funded by

109
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>out of state special interests. Eighty five percent of those

110
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty six million dollars come from out of Ohio, including

111
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>six million dollars from a Swiss billionaire. Yes, you heard me,

112
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>righte Switzerland, like the little red pocket knives and pots

113
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>upon due and mountain horns. I don't know why a

114
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>guy from Switzerland thinks it's okay to try to influence

115
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>the way Ohio draws district lines. But that's what they're

116
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 2>attempting to do.

117
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 1>And so if a state issue one passes, it means

118
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that voters will no longer have the power to select

119
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>the members of the reapportionment Commission. Is that true?

120
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 2>That's correct? And say President Trump has a good thing.

121
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>He's been blunt about this. If I can't fire you,

122
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>you don't actually work for me. Right. If you can't

123
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>fire somebody, then there's no accountability. And this commission would

124
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>be put in place by a group of retired judges,

125
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>and we can't fire them, we can't hold them accountable.

126
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>And what's worse, they would be charged with the job

127
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>of literally they're told to jerrymander the state to create

128
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a specific number of democratic districts. It's a dangerous thing.

129
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, you need only look as far

130
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>as the state of Michigan that passed virtually the same

131
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 2>plan in twenty eighteen to see what happens. It's a

132
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>bad deal.

133
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, to give the American people an example, I just googled.

134
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 1>I asked Google how many words are there in the

135
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 1>United States Constitution including all the amendments. The total number

136
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 1>of words in the US Constitution plus all the amendments

137
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>is seven thousand, five hundred ninety one seventy five ninety

138
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 1>one total words in the US Constitution.

139
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 2>How many words are in this amendment thirteen thousand, which

140
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 2>means it's almost twice as long. Just this amendment is

141
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>almost twice as long as the entire US Constitution, the

142
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 2>most enduring constitution in all of human history.

143
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 1>So on State Issue one, if it passes, this non

144
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 1>elected board of retired judges would get together and decide

145
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>who's on the commission, who's not on the commission, and

146
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>if they screw up, the voters will have no say whatsoever.

147
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 1>And in voting for right now, there's five members of

148
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the of the of the Commission, and the American people

149
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>vote for the governor, they vote for the secretary of State,

150
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>they vote for the state auditor, they vote for the

151
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Democratic representative, if they vote for the Republican representative, and

152
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 1>if you're unhappy with it, you can kick them out

153
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of office. If this thing passes, please go please interfere,

154
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, what do you want to.

155
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, they had the opportunity to do that.

156
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I was part of the registricting Commission. We draw new

157
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>we drew new life. And then I was on the

158
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>ballot just a few months later, and I received more

159
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 2>votes than anybody in the history of the office of

160
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of State's ever gotten. So evidently the voters of

161
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Ohio were happy with the work that we did, at

162
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>least in part, because they re elected me resoundingly. And

163
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 2>same with the governor, same with the auditor.

164
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 1>So if someone in Switzerland wants to spend six million

165
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>dollars to influence Ohioans, why don't the left wing Democrats

166
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.439
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing, saying California or New York or

167
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey, why not?

168
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, what they figured out is that they can't get

169
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.039
<v Speaker 2>their radical leftist agenda done through our state legislature, so

170
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>they're going straight to the constitution. And this is, by

171
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, we warned about this last year. This is

172
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>only one of a series. You're going to see an

173
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>effort to try to massively increase minimum wage that's probably

174
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be on the ballot next year. They're gathering signatures.

175
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>They want to eliminate what's called qualified immunity. This is

176
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>the legal protection that police officers get when they lawfully

177
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>conduct their work. There's no shortage of bats ideas that

178
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>are coming our way because it's been determined by these

179
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>folks that the Ohio Constitution is for sale to the

180
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>highest bidder. And that's dangerous.

181
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>So Frank Lerosa, Secretary State, if you don't went at

182
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the ballot box, gets Swiss millionaires, billionaires to donate money

183
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>to twist and turn an issue to make it look

184
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>as if we the people have arisen and now we're

185
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>going to make sure that we have the right apportionment

186
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 1>to make sure like Warren County, for example, would be

187
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 1>part of Dayton, would be part of Cincinnati. So if

188
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you're in a red district like Claremont County, you'd be

189
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>in with Hamilton County and suddenly your vote won't matter

190
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>at all. So by not getting a vote, that's called democracy.

191
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct?

192
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Well? In what they will do is what they did

193
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>in Michigan. So the city of Detroit is a seventy

194
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 2>six percent African American city and for eighty years they've

195
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>had at least one black member of Congress. Today, now

196
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 2>that Michigan has put in place virtually the same plan,

197
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the city of Detroit has no Black representation because they

198
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.279
<v Speaker 2>crack urban populations. They grab a certain portion of it,

199
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and then they drag that district like a spiderweb all

200
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the way out into the suburbs to try to create

201
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>majority democratic districts. And what they do is dilute minority representation.

202
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 2>It's an ugly thing, but it's a power grab by

203
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 2>the left, and we need to call it out for

204
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>what it is.

205
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Many people say it's likely to pass because it sounds good.

206
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that about? I hope no one comes to the

207
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>ballot box and stands there and tries to read thirteen

208
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand words. And when that happens, that drives me a

209
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 1>bit nuts because you ought to go in form. You

210
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>don't vote. What you do is cast a ballot, which

211
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>means become informed ahead of time. Then go cast your ballot.

212
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>You don't show up and say, by the way, Betty,

213
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>what's on the ballot? Let's read this thing? How many

214
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 1>words are on the ballot? You actually vote, actually going

215
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to read? Is it hundreds of words?

216
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's a couple hundred. It's Here's what we did. Though,

217
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the law requires that we publish the full text in newspapers,

218
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>So this is, I guess, really good business for the

219
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 2>newspapers that are otherwise struggling, but the law. So we're

220
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 2>publishing in state papers all over the state the full text,

221
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 2>including the argument for and against by each of the groups,

222
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>and we're also publishing the ballot language. You've got plenty

223
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of opportunities to look at that. You can go to

224
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>our website and look at it on the wall at

225
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>your polling location. There's going to be a huge poster.

226
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>We just mailed it. It's like the size of a bedsheet.

227
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 2>We just mailed these things out to every polling location,

228
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and so you can step out of line so you're

229
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>not holding everybody else up. If you want to read

230
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 2>all thirteen thousand words, it'll be posted on the wall.

231
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>And then what's on your ballot actually printed on the

232
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>ballot is passed by a body eye chair called the

233
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Ohio Ballot Board, and that's about nine hundred words. It's

234
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>really it's impossible to summarize a thirteen thousand word amendment

235
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.440
<v Speaker 2>in any shorter fashion, and so we summarized it the

236
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>best we could. It was very blunt and lays out

237
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 2>exactly what this thing does. And then again, it has

238
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>been approved by the Ohio Supreme Court.

239
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Is there any judicial review if this thing passes? Which

240
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the polling indicase, yes or no. Well,

241
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I think an informed electorate is the best success of

242
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 1>a future society to have informed voters actually voting and

243
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>actually determining what they're voting for. But what happens if

244
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 1>this thing passes and this brand new board of experts

245
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>get together and they screw it up completely? Is their

246
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 1>judicial review?

247
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Certainly. And I'm not a lawyer, but my hope

248
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>is that the people of Ohio look at this and

249
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>reject it on its face for the power grab that

250
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>it is. But if it passes, the people that wrote

251
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>it were very crafty to put in what's called a

252
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 2>severability clause, which basically means that even if the court

253
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>strikes down parts of it, the rest of it still stands.

254
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>They did that intentionally because the number of the things

255
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>in there I think are very clearly questionable legally. One

256
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 2>of them, which I think is the first Amendment violation,

257
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>is that you're not allowed to talk to members of

258
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the commission. Literally, you're not allowed if your kids play

259
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>soccer with their kids and you see them on the

260
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>soccer field and you bring up literally it says you

261
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>may not talk to members of the Redistricting Commission about

262
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>the public work that they're being paid by the taxpayers

263
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to do. The only way you can talk to them

264
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>is in a public meeting called by the Redistricting Commission.

265
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a pretty clear first of it's a

266
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>common sense violation. I think it's the first Amendment violation

267
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>that you can't talk to these public officials and tell them, hey,

268
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>we think you're doing a bad job. That's crazy.

269
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we get the government we deserve. That often concerns me. Lastly,

270
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I anticipate in Ohio that by midnight on election night,

271
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>or certainly by the next morning, we're going to know

272
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the result. I can't recall it going past more than

273
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>six to twelve hours. I'm told in Pennsylvania may take

274
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>several days. Florida, despite the hurricanes, are going to be

275
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>done by ten pm eleven pm. Why the states like

276
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Ohio and Florida have the results Kentucky closes the polls

277
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 1>like at six pm, and we have the results at

278
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 1>nine ten o'clock at night. How come Pennsylvania and other

279
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>states take days, weeks, or months to determine who won

280
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a race. Why is that possible in today's world?

281
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Wellie, we have a saying in the military. Maybe sounds

282
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>a little dramatic, but we say that you sweat in

283
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>training so you don't bleed in battle. What that means

284
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.200
<v Speaker 2>is you do the prep work in advance so that

285
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 2>when the action comes, you're ready to go. And it

286
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 2>comes down to logistics. In Ohio, for example, when you

287
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 2>mail in your abstey ballots, say you mail it in

288
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.879
<v Speaker 2>next week, it'll arrive at the Board of Election by

289
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>mid October, that'll be cut open, the signature will be checked,

290
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the verification of the last four of your Social Security

291
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>number or state driver's license number, all that data is checked,

292
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>that thing gets flattened out, all the folds get taken

293
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 2>out of it so that it's ready to go through

294
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the scanner. Right at seven thirty on election night. When

295
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you start seeing results at eight eight fifteen, eight thirty,

296
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>those are the early votes because they're already at the

297
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Board of Elections. The absentee ballots and the early vote

298
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>ballots are ready to count, and we count those first

299
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. In Pennsylvania, and I've warned again about this.

300
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I've testified in the Pennsylvania State Senate multiple time, and

301
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I've told them, hey, this is what you're getting wrong, guys,

302
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 2>and they still haven't fixed it. In Pennsylvania, they don't

303
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>even start cutting open envelopes until election day, and so

304
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>just the act of cutting open tens of maybe hundreds

305
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>of thousands of envelopes is going to take them time.

306
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 2>In Ohio, we give you the results on election night

307
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>because we prepare for that in advance. We don't count

308
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 2>a single vote until seven thirty on election night. But

309
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>once seven thirty comes, we are ready to count them.

310
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's why by ten eleven o'clock on election night

311
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>will be at about ninety percent. It'll take us till

312
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>three or four am on Wednesday morning to get to

313
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the full one hundred percent onofficial count, But before we

314
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.759
<v Speaker 2>go to bed early in the wee hours of Wednesday morning,

315
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>we will have reported one hundred percent of Ohio's election

316
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.159
<v Speaker 2>day count.

317
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>And I would point out I saw a California TV

318
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:49.879
<v Speaker 1>interview last night that said that it is discrimination to

319
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>verify a signature. That is not fair to someone who

320
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 1>can't sign their name to require signature of verification, that

321
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is absurd. Tony Bender once again, give the website. If

322
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 1>you're on your couch eating your Doritos and you're fat

323
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 1>and lazy and don't want to leave, what is the

324
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>website today to go online? If you can do that

325
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 1>and actually get an absentee ballot away, you go.

326
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.440
<v Speaker 2>What is the website and it works if you're active

327
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.639
<v Speaker 2>and fit as well, vote Ohio dot gov is the

328
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.159
<v Speaker 2>place to go. And by the way, that signature verification thing,

329
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the lawsuits they filed against me to

330
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 2>try to get us to stop checking signature. We won

331
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that lawsuit, but of course you know that's not discriminatory.

332
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.600
<v Speaker 2>It's been practiced in Ohio for two hundred plus years

333
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to check signatures, to verify the people are who they

334
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:38.759
<v Speaker 2>say they are.

335
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, Franklerosa, you know this is voter suppression.

336
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 2>You know it.

337
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 1>And you're practicing all these things to make sure it's

338
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>easy to easy to vote and hard to cheat, because

339
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you're really suppressing everyone's vote. But good luck and all

340
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 1>your efforts, and Franklerosa, we'll see what happens on election night.

341
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Today is the deadline. Tomorrow it all begins. Frank Loroso
