U.S. District Court Strikes Down New Ohio that Criminalizes a Non-Relative from Delivering a Voted Absentee Ballot

On July 23, U.S. District Court Judge Bridget M. Brennan, a Biden appointee, issued an opinion in League of Women Voters of Ohio v LaRose, n.d., 1:23cv-2414. It strikes down a 2023 Ohio law that makes it a felony for anyone except a relative or a postal employee to take a voted absentee ballot and deliver it to an election office or a postal collection box. One of the plaintiffs is a disabled person who wanted her caregiver to deliver the ballot. The opinion finds the law to violate the federal Voting Rights Act.
