Ohio Board of Elections: Give Fair Access to Voting
We, the undersigned, call on the Lorain County Board Of Elections to publicly support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.
Why is this important?
For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends.
Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election.
Help send a message that voting should be accessible to everyone, regardless of his or her political affiliation.
