The questions were prepared by the League of Women Voters of Ohio and asked of all candidates for this office.
Read the answers from all candidates.
1. What statewide changes would you recommend in voting procedures or mechanisms?
I have lobbied the Ohio General Assembly and both houses of Congress for increased funding and standards for new voting machines. I held an Elections Summit to examine Ohio's voting procedures, which led to the passage of HB 5. This codified many procedures and created the Election System Study Committee, which I chaired. From that committee, I led a group of reformers that recommended the legislature adopt three basic standards for all future purchases of voting machines: They must prevent over-voting, have a second-chance option for voters to review their ballot and create a paper audit trail.
U.S. Senate: Total words in answer to the question may not exceed 100 words. The word limit must be observeds. Words over the limit will be cut off in published information.
