Volunteer Citizen Election Integrity Advocates Sharing the Truth about Ohio's and our Nation's Elections
"Ask not what your country can do for you - but what you can do for your country." - JFK
Virtually all states have serious election integrity issues, including Ohio. Once you see the data as we have, you cannot unsee. That is why we are here.
Ohio Secretary of State LaRose is silent on supporting HB577 requiring absentee voters to include a copy of a valid photo ID, consistent with in-person voting requirements that he strongly supported in 2022.
Ohio Republican Party election officials have not publicly expressed support for HB577 - yet it is supported by 95% of Republicans nationwide.
All 88 Ohio county Boards of Elections are silent on supporting HB577 that requires absentee voters to include a copy of a valid photo ID - consistent with in-person voting requirements.
Who Deserves Your Vote for Secretary of State?
MARCELL STRBICH or CAREER POLITICIAN
TRUTH IS, Marcell Strbich is a retired Lt. Colonel with 20 years in Air Force and Pentagon experience advising senior leaders on $25+ billion modernization programs—real leadership and accountability under high-stakes conditions.
He also spent three years as a volunteer researching Ohio election data and studying election laws, becoming an expert in this field. He was directly involved in the writing of three (3) recent election integrity bills, while his opponent Sprague failed to sponsor any election integrity bills as an eight (8) year state legislator.
Ohio political insiders like Sprague and the Columbus “musical chairs” club, talk a big game, yet fail to implement the basics. As Treasurer for 8 years, Sprague failed to deliver a transparent Ohio Checkbook that was enacted before him. Like current Secretary LaRose, Sprague considers Ohio elections “gold standard” while hundreds of thousands of voters can vote regular ballots without proven eligibility, and fictitious persons are able to register and vote absentee - you can even register your pets and vote for them.

Election after election, the establishment Republican pattern continues: promises are made, career politicians go along to get along, and nothing changes. Republicans have been in power in Ohio for decades, yet fraud and trust issues persist everywhere.
Ohio doesn’t need another career politician making promises that he does not intend to keep. Ohio needs bold leadership—someone who will actually clean up elections and fraudulent businesses, demand accountability, and call out other leaders who aren’t doing their job. That’s why Strbich is the candidate Ohio truly needs: a proven leader unafraid to fix the system. VOTE STRBICH ON MAY 5.
2.18 MILLION REASONS TO PASS HB 577
Requiring a Copy of Photo ID to Vote by Mail
-
2.18 Million Mail Ballots without Photo ID: Since Ohio required a valid photo ID for in-person voting in 2023, millions of mail ballots have been cast without the same requiremment. How is this fair?
-
Lawmaker Resistance during General Govt Hearing 3/24/2026: Ohio citizens raising concerns about ineligible voting encountered pushback from both Republican and Democrat Committee members, who asked unrelated questions, and presented inaccurate and unsupported claims.
-
Lawmakers' Disrespectful Treatment of Military Veteran:
Three lawmakers, both Republican and Democrat, persistently questioned a 20-year military veteran about his voting history, political affiliation, and absentee voting, falsely stating his Ohio voting history - twice.
The record must be corrected to reflect accurate information.
-
Lawmaker Overstates Social Security Number Concern:
Claims about Social Security Number exposure are misleading, as Ohio IDs have not included SSNs (unless specifically requested) for decades.
-
-
Lawmaker Misrepresents Copy of ID Access
Concerns about public schools not helping with ID copies conflict with existing public schools voter registration legal obligations.
Lawmaker "Poll Tax" Claim Contradicts Established Law
The bill does not require payment to obtain a state ID or a copy of a photo ID. The confined and disabled are able to do both from home. The Supreme Court determined in 1966 and reaffirmed in 2008 that incidental costs, such as travel, do not meet the standard of a poll tax.
Lawmaker Ignores Audit Limitations
Relying on a 99% audit rate to claim illegal voting is not a problem in Ohio is misleading. The audit reviews only a small sample of ballots for counting accuracy, and does not confirm voter eligibility. This is comparable to
a bank declaring an audit successful without confirming the money is
not counterfeit.
Lawmaker Questions Lack of Board of Elections Support
While both U.S. Senators Moreno and Husted strongly support requiring photo ID for all voting at the federal level, Ohio's 88 county Boards of Elections have been issued guidance to remain silent on HB577, which would require mail-in voters to include a copy of a valid photo ID - similar to existing in-person voting requirements.

Absentee vs. In-Person Voting Standards
Chairwoman Sharon Ray stated that existing registration data and signature verification provide meaningful protection for absentee mail-in voting. However, Ohio has already deemed these measures are insufficient for in-person voting. Maintaining weaker verification standards for mail-in ballots - without face-to-face interaction - raise consistency concerns.
A matching signature alone does not ensure ballot legitimacy if it originates from an ineligible voter registration, which may number in the hundreds of thousands on Ohio voter rolls.
Ohio law already permits submission of a photo ID copy with absentee ballots. HB577 standardizes this option to promote uniformity.
Immaterial and Inaccurate Witness Questions/Statements
Retired Military Intelligence Lt. Colonel, Election Integrity advocate and Secretary of State candidate Marcell Strbich provided testimony on the need for a copy of photo ID with mail-in ballots to curtail 3rd party fraudulent registrations, and was faced with immaterial, redundant questions, and inaccurate statements.
Rep. Marilyn John: "How often have you voted in the state of Ohio?" followed by, "Have you always been a registered Republican?"
Ranking Member Juanita Brent asserted that she reviewed the voter files, and "You've only voted twice."
Her statements are inaccurate and created a false impression of the witness's voting history. Correction of the record is necessary to preserve the accuracy and integrity of the Committee proceedings.
Rep. Adam Bird asked if the witness provided provided a photo ID when voting absentee in Illinois despite the witness having already stated that Alabama was the only state requiring it.

Rather than fully engaging with the bill's provisions and substance of proponent testimony, proponent witnesses faced questions and statements from both Republican and Democrat committee members that relied on incomplete or inaccurate premises.
Republican General Government Committee questions and statements contrast with photo ID requirements supported by Ohio's U.S. Senators, Moreno and Husted.

TRUTH IS, before the 2016 primary, President Trump said he had tremendous support from the people but was treated unfairly by the Republican establishment.
TRUTH IS, Marcell Strbich, retired Lt. Colonel and candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, also has tremendous support from the people and has been treated unfairly by the Ohio Republican establishment. They tried to influence the primary by attempted bribery, threats through a "scorched earth group", and endorsement of a political insider in a competitive race.
At the time, Strbich had just secured Butler County's endorsement - Ohio's seventh largest county - and was leading his opponent by 8 points in a Republican-trusted poll.
Just as President Trump overcame obstacls to win his primary, Ohio voters now face a similar choice.
Will history repeat itself?

Marcell Strbich not only publicly supports HB577, which would extend a photo ID requirement already used for in-person voting to absentee voting, he was also instrumental in the drafting of the bill and provided public proponent testimony on the bill.
