Why do opponents of voting rights keep trying to make it harder to vote? Why are they trying day after day to limit pathways for you to submit your ballot?

It's simple -- they know that their voters and supporters have no trouble taking time off or being late to work to go vote. They know that their voters have plenty of polling locations with short lines and barely any waiting. They know they can chip at the margins here and there and win elections by limiting drop boxes, closing polling locations in certain communities, and reducing early voting hours and availability.

Drop boxes are threatened in Ohio by the very elected official whose job is to run the election, John.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has asked leaders in the Ohio state legislature to create a law eliminating ballot drop boxes even after a court ruled that people with disabilities should have more opportunities to vote.

LaRose also used his own powers as Secretary of State to add more steps before voters can use drop boxes ahead of the November election. His actions will disenfranchise millions of voters this fall: 1 in 4 Ohioans voted absentee in their last election, according to state data.

This hurts Ohio's voters, from working families to college students to the elderly. An Ohio state senator summed it up for everyone: “They make it tougher for people to vote, make it tougher for people to take their own spouse’s ballot to the one box in the county that they’re allowed to have to drop off their ballots, anything they can do to make it tougher to vote.”

John: We MUST stand up to defend access to the ballot and increase voter participation in our elections. Pitch in $25 or whatever you can today to help protect the use of mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and so many more ways to vote in Ohio and across the country >>
