YES!

But as an aside, LaRose is confusing me. He was interviewed on MSNBC a few weeks ago, and was asked about this - one ballot box per county. His answer was that the (voter suppressing) law passed by the (foul) republican state legislature doesn't allow him to place multiple ballot boxes in counties. I believed him because he restored all the early voting dates that Husted / DeWine removed in 2018 - weekdays now, weekends starting the 24th, including Sundays. Also, I was shocked to get an absentee ballot application automatically mailed to me. So... what's going on?

Still HAPPY about this, but I was just starting not to hate him...
