38. I detest DeWine 99 percent of the time

But, in this case, he did the right thing.

Most of our poll workers are older retired folks. How would you like to sit there for 12 hours while everyone comes filing past you, touching pens, being too close.

Plus, there are still way too many people in Ohio who aren't taking this seriously. We have 50 cases, probably more by now, it goes up every day.

We are being informed that we'll still be able to vote through the first of June. So it's not like the election is being cancelled altogether, just moved ahead.

I have never voted for a Republican in my entire life .... I was for Warren until she dropped out and now I'm for Biden. I just don't see anything nefarious going on here.
