I voted this morning, Ohio early voting has started! [View all]

I was just thinking this is the Third time I have voted against the Orange Criminal...

But I am in a rural county and the BOE offices are actually closer than my voting location across town.

We now vote on paper ballots with the fill in the bubble type with pens provided. Once you have finished with that you go over to one of two scanning machines and feed you ballot into the machine. It sucks it in, scans it and puts it in some internal storage. It does have a display that it scanned it.

The Ohio supreme court offices now are listed as Democratic or Republican candidates. The state Board of education was not, and I had not looked up those candidates.

We had several offices without an Democratic candidate and I did not vote for any Republican period.

We also had Issue 1 which is the second attempt to end Gerrymandering in Ohio. We passed a ban of this 6 years ago but the Republicans have done and end run around that one, so hopefully this one will pass and work.

For anyone in Ohio, we do not just have an election Day, we basically have an election MONTH!
