Frank LaRose just gave your voter data to the feds
Today we learned that Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, “has turned over the voter registration data of nearly 8 million Ohioans to the U.S. Department of Justice.”
Why does that matter?
First of all, your state government just gave your private voting data to the federal government. Small government conservatives should be rioting in the streets.
But the main cause for concern is election security.
Unlike many other countries, American elections are run by the states. In order to run a major voter suppression effort, the federal government would need the states' full, unredacted voter files.
Want more info? Here’s one of Ohio’s top elections attorneys, Marc Elias, discussing this topic in detail.
The Trump Administration has already sued at least 24 states trying to get their voter data.
Some states, like Minnesota, have defended their citizens’ privacy and refused to cave. Minnesota’s leadership even stood strong when AG Pam Bondi tried to access their data through extortion.
Yes, really. A few hours after ICE murdered Alex Pretti, Pam Bondi sent a letter demanding the state hand over its full, unredacted voter file in exchange for ICE leaving Minneapolis.
Not to sound like a broken record, but it really freaking matters who controls your state government.
Electing good people at the state level can create a firewall between you and a corrupt federal government.
Ohio Republicans have proven that they can’t be trusted to stand up for us. They are either soft and spineless, or willing participants in Trump’s corruption.
TAKE ACTION — Mark your calendar for the major Ohio elections happening this year:
Primary Election (how we pick the candidates for November) — May 5, 2026
General Election — November 3, 2026
Remember to vote all the way down your ballot. Every Republican at every level of government needs to go.
The only way to permanently purge MAGA from the Republican Party is to fire every politician who still allows themselves to be tied to the party in its current form.
ALSO — Make sure to update and check your voter registration several times throughout the year:

One final thought — Don’t ever let anyone tell you your vote doesn’t matter. If voting were pointless, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you from doing it.
