Secretary of State Frank LaRose said lawmakers should consider eliminating ballot drop boxes after a federal court ruled that Ohio law violates the rights of people with disabilities who need help voting absentee.
Advocates sued over a rule allowing only certain family members to return absentee ballots on behalf of relatives who are hospitalized or homebound because of an illness or disability. The list includes spouses, parents, siblings and grandparents, but not grandchildren or caretakers.
