GOP-backed overhaul of Ohio voting laws nearing release

Associated Press  

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A significant rewrite of Ohio’s election laws is under way that could reduce early voting days and prohibit ballot drop boxes while also adding conveniences like online mail-in ballot requests, the bill’s sponsor said this week. Seitz said of the timing, “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance and there’s always room for improvement.” An early draft of the legislation obtained by the AP called for a host of new voter restrictions, including: requiring two forms of ID to vote early or by mail; banning the ballot drop boxes allowed and popularized during the coronavirus pandemic; eliminating a day of early voting the Monday before the election; and prohibiting the state from paying ballot postage. “I’m sure you’ve heard about the shameful voter suppression law that was recently passed by the Georgia state legislature -- the law that will make it illegal to hand out food and water to voters waiting in line to vote, as well as cutting access to early voting and reducing the number of ballot drop-off locations,” Ohio House Democratic Leader Emilia Sykes said in a fundraising email linking to the video. “For years, Republicans in Columbus have attacked Ohioans’ voting rights by implementing some of the most extreme measures in the country,” Ohio Democratic Party Executive Director Malik Hubbard said in a statement.
