LaRose issues statement following passage of SAVE Act

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose released the following statement on the passage of the SAVE Act from the U.S. House of Representatives:
 
“Americans deserve to know their elections are secure and the results accurately reflect the will of the people. In Ohio, we take our responsibility for maintaining accurate voter rolls seriously – but we need additional federal data to verify only citizens are registered to vote. The SAVE Act would provide states with that data, and I’m grateful to Congressional leaders for making it a priority.”
