Ohio’s restrictive new election law significantly shortens the window for mailed ballots to be received, even though there's no evidence that the extended timeline has led to fraud or any other problems.

Republican lawmakers said during debate on the Ohio legislation that even if Trump's claims aren't true, the skepticism they have caused among conservatives about the accuracy of election results justifies imposing new limits.

“While there is certainly more work to do, this new law drastically enhances Ohio’s election security and improves the integrity of our elections, which my constituents and citizens across the state have demanded," she said. All states are required to transmit ballots to registered overseas and military voters at least 45 days before an election, or as soon as possible if the request comes in after that date.

Aaron Ockerman, a lobbyist for the election officials' group, said the seven-day post-election window called for in an early version of the legislation“They felt the vast, vast majority of the ballots have arrived within eight days,” he said. The group opposed making the window any shorter, on grounds that voters — including those in the military — would be disenfranchised.

GOP rep introduces bill to restart border wall construction, days after Mexican president lauds BidenRep. Clay Higgins, R-La., is introducing legislation to re-fire construction of the wall at the southern border, warning that the U.S. has lost its sovereignty. Thank God Almighty in the Highest for a Miracle in an awakening 🙏❤️‍🩹❤️ Too late now, damage is done. A million get aways and Americans think none of those were terrorists. They have already identified hundreds that were apprehended. Good thing Canada still has a border, sadly we have to watch it happening. When the Dems give back all they money they received from the Bitcoin king that money will help greatly in building the border wall and give back sovereignty to the USA.
