OH: Local community files ballot initiative to ban public drag performances

BELLFONTAINE — Nearly 800 people in an area community signed a petition to get a measure restricting drag performances across the state on the November ballot.

But the petition given to Logan County Board of Elections was not the same petition people said they signed.

Ohio law states a copy of any proposed ballot petition must be filed with the city auditor before collecting signatures, but that allegedly didn’t happen......

“We had a hearing actually last Thursday before the board of elections that lasted two and a half hours, both sides presented evidence. Their side actually admitted to the alleged fraud,” Steinhelfer said.......

“So now the matter is before the Secretary of State Frank LaRose to cast the tie-breaking vote,” Steinhelfer said.

The GOP is now in bed with QAnon and the Proud Boys talking about the Russian disinformation
threat from drag shows because that goes to grooming little kids to be LGBT.
