Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has asked Statehouse leaders to create a law eliminating ballot drop boxes after a court ruled that people with disabilities should have more opportunities to vote. Using his own powers, he put more steps in place to even use drop boxes ahead of the November election.Nearly four million Ohioans voted last November, with one in four people voting absentee, according to state data.
'The security of the delivery of absentee ballots remains paramount, so this leaves us with the obvious question of a remedy.'I reached out to LaRose's office to ask exactly what loophole LWV created but did not hear back.The ruling just struck down the one provision that dealt with people with disabilities and who can deliver their absentee ballot for just them.To be clear, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
