The ACLU of Ohio is pushing back on Sec. of State Frank LaRose's order limiting each county to one ballot drop box for the May primary.

The says it鈥檚 going to continue to push for additional drop boxes in each county despite a decision late last week by Ohio Sec. of State Frank LaRose.

LaRose limiting counties to one drop box for the upcoming May primary, saying any change had to be made by the state legislature.

Collin Marozzi is a policy strategist with the ACLU of Ohio. He points to state and federal court decisions affirming LaRose鈥檚 power to authorize more drop boxes. Marozzi also doubts the legislature will take action.

Marozzi: on Ohio General Assembly

鈥淏ut the Ohio General Assembly really has no interest and no appetite for election reform that is pro voter, that is increasing access that makes it easier for voters to make their voices heard. And unfortunately, it鈥檚 exactly the opposite,鈥 he said.

Marozzi believes this year鈥檚 mayoral election in Cleveland and Cincinnati provides a perfect opportunity to test run deploying more drop boxes.

Marozzi would not comment on whether the ACLU is considering more legal action.
