Weekly Reporter Roundtable: GOP lawmakers want voters to decide on amendment to photo ID law

Ohio law already requires voters to show a valid photo ID. So why do Republican lawmakers think that language needs to be written into the state constitution by a voter-approved amendment this November? Speaking of voting, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose experienced first-hand what happens when absentee ballots don’t arrive at the board of elections on time. A new prosecution team is tapped to retry two former First Energy executives after the first trial ended in a mistrial. Gov. Mike DeWine has more than 200 days left in his term and said at a recent press event that he’s proudest of his efforts to help children. We're digging into all of these topics on a special Tuesday edition of the Reporter Roundtable. Guests: Jeremy Pelzer, chief politics reporter, Cleveland.com Susan Tebben, reporter, Ohio Capital Journal
