By Julie Carr Smyth - Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose launched his reelection bid on Monday, touting the state’s smooth 2020 election even as many fellow Republicans expressed unfounded doubts in the presidential result and GOP lawmakers are backing a major rewrite to state voting laws.
LaRose, 42, released a one-minute video along with his announcement that emphasizes his physical fitness, military background, political experience and young family.
“Every legal ballot was counted a record-shattering 6 million and the people of Ohio made their voice heard,” he says to the camera. “While other states struggled, Ohio got it right. Because there’s nothing more important than protecting your vote.”
