In a post-midnight vote in the Ohio House Chamber on Tuesday, legislators passed new voting laws for the state, including increased photo ID requirements and fewer days to apply for absentee ballots.

The legislation, which has now passed both chambers, will head to Governor Mike DeWine (R) to sign into law.
