(AP Photo/Aaron Doster, File)COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio and Republican groups including the Trump campaign are fighting to uphold a GOP election chief's directive limiting ballot drop boxes in the presidential battleground to one per county.
LaRose argued that the number of drop boxes per county must be uniform to be fair, and that lawmakers had made clear in a law passed this spring that ballots had to be mailed or personally delivered to county board directors.
Interest in access to ballot drop boxes has increased nationally since spring primary voting was hampered by virus concerns, the U.S.
It is often the more urban, Democrat-heavy counties that lean toward drop boxes.
