1. Heading out in few minutes -

First to see if my debilitating vertigo has abated enough to drive and, if so to drive myself to the polls.

If not, my spouse will drive me.

2. We voted in Ohio today...

Can’t wait to hear what horror the republicans picked this time.

3. GOP mail in voting reportedly very high per MSNBc or CNN. Go figure.

Fraudulent in 2020, but ok now.

4. The FIRST Ohio Primary.

Since we don't have a legal map yet, we'll vote in another primary "sometime later".

This one, BTW, was a complete shitshow. Our Congressional District was changed, but maybe not. No notice from the state, no voters guides. A young woman was passing out flyers for a Common Pleas Court judge candidate, but when we told her where we lived, she informed us that we were out of her precinct. We weren't, as it turned out, and informed her as we were leaving. She actually had been mislead about the precinct boundaries - probably intentionally.

Can't wait for the next one.

5. Yup.

That's the reason I wasn't too terribly excited by the primary - and didn't do my homework until today. That, and today is the day in oer a week I've been up to thinking about much of anything.

Only 3 contested races - and all but one a foreone conclusion.

I keep seeing signs from one of my students out in my neck of the woods - and none of the proposed districts in which he would be running include my neighborhood. Gotta love the enthusiasm - but I hope I don't have to be put on the spot as to whether I support him or not. Nice hard-working kid, but too conservative for my tastes (although more on the economic than social end of conservative).

7. The primary that comes later will be for state officials...house races and Senate races, Lieutenent

Governor, Governor...these were chosen today including judges. It was important and you won't get another chance to vote on those on the ballot today.

[OilemFirchen]

8. Mostly true, I think.

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm confused - 'cause I just couldn't pay attention to the Republican ratfuckery this year.

We voted for our U.S. Rep candidate. Yet the Congressional map remains undrawn. Isn't there the possibility that some voters will be moved into a new Congressional district before the next primary?

[Demsrule86]

10. Of course the Senate and House races in the fall are super important...and it was very

confusing with the fighting over redistricting.

[OilemFirchen]

11. My point, though...

is that we all voted for candidates for the U.S. House without a map in place. I can understand, begrudgingly, the need for a second primary. But why weren't those House elections delayed as well?

[Demsrule86]

12. They should have been.

[Demsrule86]

6. I voted...am interested in the results...

[Demsrule86]

9. Tim Ryan won with 73.7% of the vote.

[Demsrule86]

13. No Info that I could find on Shontel...there were some serious glitches in Cuyahoga today.

[Takket]

14. pretty close on the rethug side

15. Here we go! Congrats Shontel!

Go Shontel...

This is for you Ms. People's Party/ Eat Shit Nina Turner...

[sunonmars]

16. Bye Bye Nina, please leave and don't come back

[Demsrule86]

17. Amen to that!

Snip-Mike DeWine secures Republican nomination for Ohio Governor

Incumbent Ohio Governor Mike DeWine wins the Republican nomination for Ohio governor, defeating former Congressman and business Jim Renacci, Central Ohio farmer and business owner Joe Blystone, and Ron Hood, a former state representative from Ashville who described himself as a “forever Trumper.” All of DeWine's opponents criticized DeWine's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
