There are "850,000 Ohio jobs tied to the auto industry."
"Ohio is not meeting its obligation to update voter registrations when voters change their address with the BMV."
Says Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur "actually lives" in "a fancy condo in the Washington, D.C. suburbs."
"Every time we put a ballot issue on, it costs a million dollars."
