There used to be more significantly seats in this Ohio Statehouse committee room. Is the Ohio GOP trying to literally reduce the number of people who can attend public hearings?

WATCH: Ohioans testify against 2 bills that would use lies about #CriticalRaceTheory to ban honest, accurate, diverse curriculum in Ohio schools. There are so many people here to testify for #HonestyInEducation that they've set up multiple overflow rooms.

@kylegriffin1 YES! 710,131 signatures! Absolutely incredible! BUT FIRST -- We must defeat #Ohio Issue 1 on August 8th. Far right politicians are trying to stop abortion rights by stopping Ohioans from amending their own state constitution:

It's horrific that this grieving father has to beg Donald Trump and Ohio's Republican politicians to stop spreading racist lies about his dead son Shame on everyone who spreads lies about the hardworking, God-fearing, Haitian immigrants in Springfield

I am getting numerous reports about voters in North Canton (Stark County) #Ohio are being turned away because the polls have run out ballots and backup ballots. Voters were told to come back later but some say they can’t.

Helpful reporting on Springfield from @ReporterAmber and @ScottWartman : There’s no evidence of Haitians eating people’s pets. They arrived in the U.S. legally and came to Springfield as businesses recruited immigrants for jobs.

This feels like a good moment to launch our new project. Too many people vote for president & then leave the rest blank -- leaving extremists to run our Statehouses. Share far and wide -- Make sure your friends don't just vote, they #VoteTheWholeBallot .
