Show Notes
In June 2024, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 1, giving Attorney General Dave Yost new authority to investigate illegal foreign donations to ballot campaigns. Despite a complaint form on their website, the attorney generals office has received zero tips and launched no investigations as of mid-February. Supporters argue that strong safeguards deter foreign election meddling, while critics see it as a burden on local organizations and a scary expansion of the attorney generals reach. The law faced a federal court challenge over First Amendment concerns but was upheld in September 2025, allowing Ohio to enforce the foreign donation ban.
