Drew Angerer / Getty Images fileOhio legislators sent Republican Gov. Mike DeWine a GOP-backed bill Thursday that would require voters to show photo ID at the polls and allow fewer days to request absentee ballots or vote early in person.
The bill would also eliminate in-person early voting on the eve of Election Day and trim the amount of time voters can request and submit absentee ballots. DeWine said after the vote that he would need to read the legislation before he decided whether to sign it into law. While many Republican legislators contended that their bills are aimed at beefing up election security, Democrats and voting rights groups have criticized the measures, arguing that either one would make it more difficult for Ohioans to vote.
