Law's Atiba Ellis weighs in on Gov. DeWine’s veto of two voting bills

DeWine vetoes two bills, including one requiring photo ID to mail-in ballots
Fox 8: Atiba Ellis, the Morris G. Shanker Professor of Law, said Gov. DeWine’s veto of HB 472 reflects a longstanding tension between election security and voter access, arguing the photo-ID requirement for absentee ballots risked creating new barriers without clear evidence of added security. Ellis also noted that proposals to withhold mail-ballot delivery unless states share voter lists with the federal government raise significant constitutional and federalism concerns because election administration is primarily a state responsibility.
