Directive that restricts Ohio counties to one ballot drop box in November is arbitrary and unreasonable, a county judge ruled Tuesday.
The Ohio Democratic Party and a coalition of voting rights group sued LaRose last month over the directive, calling it unconstitutional. It prohibited election boards from installing more than one drop box located at the county board of elections, effectively holding the boxes to the number lawmakers made available in Ohio’s presidential primary.
Because the law is vague, Frye said, counties must be legally permitted to explore placing additional boxes. “It’s time for the Secretary of State to do what he has told the public and officials that he would do,” Pepper tweeted. “No more delays. No more appeals. No more wasted time.”ordered him Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, election clerks across the presidential battleground state rushed to mail absentee ballots Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the state Supreme Court lifted a temporary freeze on sending them while it considered a legal challenge.
