Biden's Economic Policies Raise Concerns Among Voters Ahead of Election

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) criticizes the Biden administration's economic and foreign policies, expressing concerns about their impact on the economy and national security.

Biden's Economic Policies Draw Scrutiny

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has voiced concerns about President Biden's upcoming address on the economy, criticizing the administration's economic and foreign policies. Cotton argues that Biden's policies have contributed to rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a weakened global standing.

Ohio Voter Roll Purge

In a separate development, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has ordered the state's voter rolls to be purged of "non-citizens" after an investigation revealed that over 100 Ohio residents were registered to vote despite lacking U.S. citizenship. The investigation analyzed data from the state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles and identified 137 individuals who appeared on voter rolls despite twice confirming they were not U.S. citizens.

Potential Prosecution

According to Ohio law, individuals who have confirmed their lack of citizenship to the BMV on two separate occasions and have updated their voter registration or voted in between those occasions are eligible for removal from voter rolls. LaRose's office has stated that these individuals will receive written notices requesting confirmation of their citizenship status or cancellation of their registration. Failure to respond to these notices will result in the removal of their registration from voter rolls.

Honest Mistakes

LaRose has emphasized that not all cases of improper voter registration are criminal offenses. He acknowledged that some registrations may be the result of honest mistakes, such as communication barriers leading to incorrect submissions. LaRose has emphasized the importance of resolving these issues to prevent accidental registrations from turning into illegal votes or leading to felony convictions or deportation.

Data Access Request

LaRose's office has requested access to several sources of citizenship data to enhance the accuracy of voter rolls. These sources include the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' SAVE database, the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration, and federal district court records.

Model for Other States

LaRose hopes to establish Ohio's election systems as a model for other Republican-led states, given his current role as vice chairman of the Republican Secretaries of State Committee. He has emphasized the importance of principled Republican leaders to combat national liberal groups targeting secretary of state races in the upcoming elections.

Conclusion

Senator Cotton's criticism of Biden's economic policies and the voter roll purge in Ohio highlight ongoing concerns about the economy, national security, and the integrity of the electoral process as the presidential election approaches. The Biden administration faces pressure to address these concerns while LaRose's efforts to enhance voter roll accuracy serve as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding the integrity of elections.
