Trump Supporter Convicted of Casting Multiple Ballots in 2 Elections

Ohio lawyer James Saunders, a Trump donor, was immediately jailed on Tuesday after being convicted of illegal voting.

cleveland.com is reporting that republicans fell like they could eke out a close win by boosting same-day voting. mind you, if republican his tried this a long time ago, only white men would be able to enlist in the ohio national guard. ohio's governor wouldn't have term limits and ohioance would only have the option of straight ticket voting at the polls. all of those things were changed in the state constitution by votes of 50+ percent. joining us is melissa murray nyu law professor and msnbc legal analyst and david dewitt of the ohio capital journal. mr. dewitt, i am in possession here of your excellent and very passionate op ed about all of this. i want to let you say more. i quoted a little of it earlier, but please say more about why you think this initiative and voting on it is so important in your state. >> right. this is, as you mentioned an historic election in ohio. we've never seen an attack on this ever in our history as far

student loans, finding jobs when they leave college and what their lives will look like. they also told me, fred, a lot of the politicians are too old. they can't relate to them and they don't think they represent them. fred. >> all right. well, i hope it doesn't keep them from voting, however, right. the power of the vote. nadia romero, thank you so much. early voting is also under way in ohio. that state is home to a key senate race between j.d. vance and tim ryan. it is too close to call. it's a race that could decide who controls the senate. with me now to discuss this high-stakes race is jeremy peltser for cleveland.com. so good to see you. so president biden and former president obama campaigning in several background states for democrats. but they don't have any plans to campaign for tim ryan in ohio. what does that say about that state or that race?

and last cycle, it has made a big impact. in fact, if you look at j.d. vance, how he won the nomination earlier this year it was because of president trump's support that he advanced the general election. president trump has been in ohio many times over the past few years. and it seems, you know, you can't always tell how much it increases voter turnout. but obviously it seems to make a difference. and president trump is going to do everything he can to make sure j.d. vance goes over the finish line. >> you have written about the importance of northeast ohio and that senate race between tim ryan and j.d. vance. help people understand why is that area of the state so important, so pivotal? >> sure. so areas like cleveland, akron, youngstown, those areas traditionally are not only -- it's not only the most populus part of ohio, it's also an area

effect, jim. >> mike dewine did not have trump's endorsement, we should note that, won his primary as well. kristen holmes, thank you so much. i'm joined by the political reporter for cleveland.com, covering ohio politics. jeremy, good to have you on this morning. here's the question, primaries different from the general election. we don't know yet, but is vance in ohio the stronger candidate for republicans in the general as well as in the primary? >> well, that's certainly the argument that donald trump made when he made the endorsement for vance. he argued that vance was the strongest candidate to beat tim ryan this fall. in ohio, you have to understand that ohio is a solidly trump state, he won here both in 2016 and in 2020 by more than eight points. so vance enters the general election campaign as the favorite. even though tim ryan is perhaps the best candidate that the democrats could field, given that he has sort of a --

has to spot michigan a two-touchdown lead, it would favor one over the other. that's exactly what they've done with their supposedly competitive districts. >> one of these cases in front of the state supreme court is adams versus dewine as in ohio governor mark dewine whose son patrick is one of the seven justices weighing the case. justice dewine, though, has not recused himself. joining me now is cnn contributor and republican election lawyer ben ginsberg. thank you so much for joining me. let's talk about this because the justice told cleveland.com that since his father is one of five republicans that approved the maps, he doesn't have an obligation to recuse himself. look, he could be the swing vote, right? he's one of four republican justices on the seven-member panel. do you see a conflict of interest? >> well, conflicts of interest
