The approvals come just under a week after Gov. Mike DeWine called a special session to get President Joe Biden on Ohio’s ballot and consider the foreign money ban.

The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.

Thursday’s session didn’t go smoothly. As House Speaker Jason Stephens attempted to introduce the first of two pieces of legislation, Democrats shouted him down, attempting to adjourn the session before it even began. On the way to passage, the foreign influence measure was amended to include green card holders in the definition of “foreign nationals.” That puts Ohio’s bill at odds with federal law.

“The first point is the new bill puts everything in a new code section, and is only five pages long,” Seitz said. “So we have taken what I said to heart, that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and we’re being very concise and clear in what we’re doing here in the bill.” “So if someone voted the wrong way for Speaker of the House, for example, their campaign committee might face some allegations,” he said, alluding to the running battle between Speaker Stephens and several of the House’s conservative members.

“I remember from 2016 to 2018, or thereabouts we heard from the national Democrats and who appointed a special prosecutor to look at this question rather than going through the Federal Elections Commission, all we heard for three years from Mueller and the gang was Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.”

Isaacsohn’s amendment keeping investigative authority in the hands of the Ohio Election Commission failed.
