COLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) — A panel of lawmakers has shot down a request by Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State that would have allowed his office to pay for postage for mail-in ballots.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose wanted approval from the Ohio Controlling Board to take $3 million dollars from a fund his office controls for postage for mail-in ballots.
Some of the seven board members were concerned about making this change so close to the election. And they pointed out Ohioans have more than one way to vote.
Early, in person voting at local boards of elections begins October 6.
