Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed House Bill 472, which would have required absentee voters to provide a copy of their driver’s license or state ID starting in 2027. The bill, passed by Ohio Republicans, aimed to strengthen election integrity but was criticized by DeWine as unnecessary and burdensome, with no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Ohio.
