Congressional Democrats from Ohio have written to the secretary of state urging him to reverse course on a decision they say prohibits “local boards of election from providing multiple secure ballot drop boxes in each county.”

“… Ohio’s chaotic primary season alone reminds us that steps must be taken to ensure that Ohioans are given options that permit them to vote in a safe, healthy, and predictable manner,” they wrote. “Secure ballot drop boxes can play a key role in such efforts. Without question, however, your recently announced policy will create a barrier to voting in our state and directly threaten the health of Ohioans and their families.”
