The new law reduces the number of days for county election boards to include mailed ballots in their tallies from 10 days after Election Day to four. Critics say that could lead more ballots from Ohio's military voters to miss the deadline and get tossed.Three other states narrowed their post-election windows for accepting mail ballots last session, according to data from the nonpartisan Voting Rights Lab.
Republicans’ claims that Ohio needs to clamp down in the name of election integrity run counter to GOP officials' glowing assessments of the state's current system. Ohio reported a near-perfect tally of its 2020 presidential election results, for example, and fraud referrals represent a tiny fraction of the ballots cast.
Former state Rep. Connie Pillich, an Air Force veteran who leads the Ohio Democratic Party’s outreach toand military families, rejects arguments that the relatively small number of affected ballots is worth the trade-off. “They felt the vast, vast majority of the ballots have arrived within eight days,” he said. The group opposed making the window any shorter, on grounds that voters — including those in the military — would be disenfranchised.
GOP and MAGA are now synonymous to Taliban.
I served, we had plenty of time to mail them in !
End All mail in voting, except for out of the country military and the elderly.
republicans do not care about our military and they never have. RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica
There is plenty of evidence that mail-in ballots in general lead to fraud which is why other countries abandon them decades ago.
Yes. Yes there is evidence. Do your job!
Gop r not patriotic. They continue to belive trump's lies.
Good idea
Is there really no evidence?
Read the article. You can request a ballot 5 days earlier. It's due 6 days earlier. A *one* day difference
Let me refer you to a recent state election in Nevada, ROFL
The right-wing cult of cons, crooks and crazies in Ohio are always accusing the other side of that which they are guilty.
We know why. They don't even try to hide it anymore.
All Republican politicians care about is keeping power, and they're willing to cheat and lie to remain in office.
Fire DeJoy.
Typical republicans screw the military
Dems care about military all the sudden?
They want to disenfranchise the citizens of the state. Why?
How many Ohioans did you interview before inserting your 2 cents? As an Ohioan I really don’t care what ABC thinks. Don’t like it? Don’t vote here. 49 other states out there.
Just send out the ballots sooner problem fixed.
Republican states hate when people vote.
Why does ABC always feel the need to editorialize?
Voting used to take place on 1 day, all in person. No one was complaining then.
Thinking you owned the libs by making it harder for Ohioans in the military to vote.
Ya gotta make it short and sweet. Dragging elections times longer and longer would obviously lead to more time for fraud.
Give it up. The majority of the American people don’t want this crap.
The Democratic Party media lies to your face, dupes.
No EvIdEnCe Of WiDeSpReAd VoTeR fRaUd LOL
LOL. It’s modeled after GA that expanded voting…
