The law prohibits employees and certain officeholders from using their authority to influence the outcome of an election.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
That election will determine whether future constitutional amendments should clear a 60% supermajority for passage. LaRose did not respond to requests for comment.The prohibition on federal employees using their position to gain electoral advantage has been around since the Great Depression. Congress quickly extended the Act to include state and local officials who derive funding from the federal government.
Critics of the Hatch Act argue its prohibitions punish public employees at the state or local level by barring them from seeking public office. Brown highlights LaRose’s use of Twitter to share updates about his office’s official actions and voting information as well as to advocate in favor of Issue 1. In particular, the complaint highlights two tweets sharing video of a televised debate in which the secretary, in his official capacity, argued in favor of Issue 1. Both tweets carry the explicit call to action “vote yes on Issue 1.”
Tuesday, LaRose tweeted video from a campaign event in Cuyahoga County. He described it as the 65th one in which he’s participated.
