In reply to the discussion: DeWine is doing the right thing. End of story. [View all]onenote
(42,702 posts)36. Seems like you haven't been paying attention to the rapidly evolving guidance
Not that long ago politicians restricting gatherings to 500, then 250, then 100, then 50, were being applauded here as doing the right thing. DeWine was being applauded for acknowledging that the situation was far far worse than Trump and his clown show was letting on. Now the guidance ranges from ten people to simply shut it down (Bay Area -- not exactly Republican stronghold). But now its a bad thing to listen to the experts?
More people will be disenfranchised if the election is held tomorrow than if it is delayed, since I would tackle my elderly aunt before I let her go out to vote. Or my immune compromised wife. Or my 70+ brother with a history of respiratory illness.
Sometimes this place can be so disappointing.

It is the right decision... democracy is too important, as is the safety of voters.

I'm from OH and I know that DeWine is a snake. I even have real doubts about his election in '18.

There is a way to do this without postponing at 11th hour. He is a partisan hack

It was done @ the 11th hour because that was when the DeWine called the state of emergency in OH ...
