Ohio Secretary of State, Frank LaRose (R) said, Wednesday August 12th, he is Banning County Boards of Elections from offering more than One Drop Box for Completed Absentee Ballots this November, saying it’s grown too late to make Changes to how Election Administer this year’s Presidential Election.
LaRose more than Three Weeks ago formally asked Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost (R), for a Legal Opinion on whether the Extra Drop Boxes were allowed under State Law.
But LaRose said Yost had Not yet Responded, and that it’s now Too Late to make such an Election Change.
Ohio - Early Voting begins 28 days before the Election, and Ends 2pm on the Day before the Election. So Early Voting, in Ohio begins on Oct. 6th, while the Election is on Nov. 3rd
LaRose said Offering Extra Drop Boxes, which Democrats and Voting-Rights Activists say is Legal, would invite Lawsuits that could Upend the Process of Preparing for the Election.
The move led to a Swift Reaction from Democrats, who Accused LaRose of Voter Suppression, saying the Request of Yost was just a Charade that would allow LaRose to eventually Run Out the Clock.
