Ohio Senate Republicans want to ban foreign citizens from donating to ballot campaigns after a progressive dark money group dumped millions into recent statewide issues.

Senate Bill 215, which passed the Ohio Senate in a 25-7 vote along party lines Wednesday, would ban non-U.S. citizens from contributing to ballot campaigns. Federal and state law already prohibits them from giving to candidates.
...
The bill is aimed at the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a progressive dark money group that donated to three recent Ohio campaigns: the August 2023 issue to block an effort to make it harder to amend the state constitution, the November 2023 issue to protect abortion access and a change to how the state draws congressional and statehouse districts. The redistricting issue could be on the ballot this fall.

Swiss billionaire Hansjo¨rg Wyss has donated $208 million to the Sixteen Thirty Fund since 2016, according to the Associated Press.

Either way good move.
