Columbus -- Voting rights advocates are urging Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted to reconsider a new directive prohibiting county elections boards from contacting residents by phone when mistakes are found on mail-in absentee ballots.

 

Common Cause Ohio, Project Vote and others say the move will cause more confusion and could prevent some Ohioans from casting ballots in next month's general election.
