Today, we discuss three key topics in Ohio election law and First Amendment issues. First, we discuss the Citizens Not Politicians v. Ohio Ballot Board case, which challenges the language used in a ballot initiative aimed at ending partisan gerrymandering in Ohio. Legal expert Ned Foley, who signed an amicus brief in the case, explains the arguments at play.

Next, we cover a recent Ohio federal court ruling that blocked a law banning non-citizens, including lawful permanent residents, from contributing to state election campaigns. We explore the potential future outcomes in the Sixth Circuit and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court.

Finally, we look at the Justice Department's recent indictment of Russian nationals involved in spreading propaganda in the U.S., and discuss whether these cases raise First Amendment concerns.

Join us for expert analysis on these pressing legal issues shaping elections and free speech.
