Federal judges rule in GOP's favor on Ohio ballot boxes

With early voting already underway in Ohio, a pingpong game in the courts over a one-per-county limit on the number of ballot drop boxes in the presidential battleground state turned back in the Republicans' favor Friday with a decision in a federal appellate court. A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals approved Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose's request to put on hold a lower federal judge's decision to block his directive, which Democrats have argued would limit voters' access to the polls. With his order once again intact, LaRose can proceed with an appeal of U.S. District Judge Dan Polster’s decision that limiting drop boxes impeded the “vital constitutional right” of voting.
