Ballot board will describe redistricting proposal for voters
COLUMBUS — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has set Aug. 16 for the Ohio Ballot Board to meet to write the language that voters will see on Nov. 5 describing a proposed constitutional amendment that would overhaul how congressional and state legislative districts are drawn. But the Republican official won't be there. A U.S. Army Reservist, he is on duty at Fort Liberty in North Carolina. His role as board chairman will be filled by former Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof, a Medina Republican whom Mr. LaRose recently named as his chief legal counsel and deputy assistant secretary of state. The 3-2 Republican-majority panel is tasked with providing a synopsis of a lengthy proposed amendment that voters will see at the polls and on absentee ballots. That language is supposed to provide “the substance of the proposal” and then ask voters to mark either “yes” or no.”

Ohio becomes 5th state to allow digital identification
For Ohio residents, providing proof of ID just got easier. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced Wednesday that the state’s residents can now add their driver’s license or state identification card to their Apple Wallet. Ohio is the fifth state to offer the option of a digital ID card, following Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland. Currently, the technology is only available for Apple iPhone users. The digital ID can be used at select businesses and Transportation Security Administration security checkpoints. It can also be used in select apps. According to a video published by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, the process can take less than a minute. All residents have to do is open their Apple Wallet, scan the front and back of their ID, and confirm their identity by taking a photo and video. The information is then submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles who needs to verify it.
