Former President Donald Trump is no stranger to criminal charges as a 34-time convicted felon, and his running mate Sen. JD Vance may be joining him in an Ohio courtroom soon, if an advocacy group for Haitians have their way.

On the September 25 edition of Ohio Has Issues, Stephanie Haney and Mike Polk Jr. look into the Haitian Bridge Alliance's filing seeking the charging and arrest of Trump and Vance in Clark County Municipal Court with the help of their attorney, Subodh Chandra. We also welcome back friend of the show Andrew Tobias, who recently left Cleveland.com to cover state politics and government for Signal Ohio, and is here to give us a rundown of the absurd amount of money being spent on political advertising in the Buckeye State.

Plus, we look at comments made by Senatorial candidate Bernie Moreno where he referred to female voters focusing on abortion access this election as "crazy," prompting Republican Nikki Haley to wondering if he's "trying to lose the election." Incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown responds to Moreno's comment, and gains the endorsement of the United Auto Workers union.

In our Ohio Roundup, we fill you in on where things stand in Portage County, where the Sheriff's Office won't be used for election security after Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski made controversial remarks about writing down addresses where residents are displaying signs supporting Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential race. Zuchowski is up for re-election this year, and due to his statements, the Akron Beacon Journal editorial board is encouraging Portage County residents not to vote for him.

We also let you know where the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus stands on the proposed redistricting amendment and why they're unhappy about the language that will appear to summarize the initiative on Ohioans' ballots.

Remember, the deadline to register to vote for the upcoming November 5 election is October 7!
