(Columbus) – Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose issued the following statement today regarding the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision upholding safeguards against ballot harvesting in Ohio’s general election:
“I’m grateful the court has allowed us to proceed with our efforts to protect the integrity of Ohio’s elections. Political activists tried once again to dismantle the safeguards we’ve put in place, specifically in this case against ballot harvesting, and they’ve been rejected. This is the same policy that’s been used successfully in other states, and it’s designed to protect both individuals and election officials from accusations of illegal voting. The court’s decision should reinforce the confidence Ohio voters have in the security, honesty, and accountability of our elections.”
