Ohio Senate Sub-Bill 153 is Not Real Election-Integrity Reform
A citizenship verification bill (Senate Sub-Bill 153) currently under consideration in the Ohio Senate offers attractive rhetoric but leaves gaping holes, most notably a lack of citizenship verification, acceptance of document copies without verification, and a lack of local access to verification data. Email your state senator and urge them to oppose Senate Sub-Bill 153 unless it is substantially strengthened to require full citizen-verification (including requiring only U.S. citizens to be added to the rolls), give full access to federal databases, and mandate cross-checks of all voters (not just certain subsets). If you live in Ohio, click here to contact your State Senator.

Term of the Week: Nolo Contendere
“Nolo contendere means ‘no contest.’ This phrase translates from the Latin as ‘I do not wish to contend.’
In a criminal proceeding, a defendant may enter a plea of nolo contendere, in which the defendant does not accept or deny responsibility for the charges but waives the right to a trial and agrees to accept the penalty.
The plea differs from a guilty plea because a “no contest” plea cannot be used against the defendant in another cause of action.
Some states do not allow defendants to ask the court’s permission to plead nolo contendere. In federal cases, the Rules of Federal Criminal Procedure allow such pleas, with the court’s permission. In all cases, the court must determine whether to allow the plea. The court has broad discretion but usually considers the parties’ circumstances and overall public policy considerations.”
