COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Secretary of State Frank LaRose provided an update Tuesday afternoon on how voting has gone on Election Day in Ohio.
He also provided an update Monday morning.
LaRose said there are nearly 4,000 polling locations and more than 56,000 election workers, complete with health and safety measures because of the coronavirus pandemic.
He noted the problems in Franklin County, which switched from an online check-in system to its backup paper system when an update on who had voted early failed to upload. LaRose said Tuesday afternoon that his office was notified about the problem about 5:30 a.m., an hour before polls opened.
“In an election, everything has a contingency plan, so (in Franklin County) they were able to switch over to the old three-ring binders that had been used in Ohio for decades and check voters in,” LaRose said.
