Ohio Supreme Court upholds Secretary of State's directive restricting ballot drop box usage for disabled voters.

The Ohio Supreme Court upheld Secretary of State Frank LaRose's directive restricting ballot drop box usage. Individuals delivering absentee ballots for disabled voters must now complete a form at the Board of Elections instead of using drop boxes. Critics, including Democrats, argue this burdens voters and amounts to voter intimidation. The ruling was made on a 4-3 party-line vote, with the court stating the Democratic challenge was filed too late.
