SENATE BILL

Good vs. bad

Mail call: The Ohio Senate is debating a bill that would authorize voting only by mail in elections where there are ballot issues but no candidates for office.

Good call: Backers say it’s easier for voters, will increase turnout, remove long voter lines and save county boards of elections money.

Bad call: Opponents say it causes more voter error than in-person voting, invites fraud and doesn’t promote diversity because most mail-in voters tend to be upper-class whites.
