Professor Bradley Smith at Capital University Law School specializes in election law.

He talked with Mike Kallmeyer about the importance of election laws and two things that tend to instill confidence in voters: their candidate wins and casting a ballot in person.

"Every change has the possibility to benefit one party or the other, so every time there is a change it will raise some suspicions by some people that in some way the law is being designed to make sure the other side wins and that is one reason you should be cautious about changing election laws," he said.

Smith is a former federal election commissioner and has seen how other states operate elections.

"I think elections generally throughout the country are much better than people want to think."

Smith said the arguments from both parties regarding election fraud and stripping people of the right to vote by enacting strict requirements are both certainly valid concerns, but they are overstated.

"Most Ohio voters aren't going to notice any real different in their voter experience," he said.
