- As an Ohioan, DeWine handled Covid very well for a Republican governor too, but that's about where the praise ends.
  He's deeply involved in a bribery scandal at the moment and seems to stand pretty firmly with MAGA on abortion and trans rights issues.
  As far as governors go I'm glad he's not DeSantis, but I'm also glad he's term limited and we'll be rid of him after 26.
It is time to protect Ohio’s elections by outlawing foreign campaign contributions
So you won't be allowing the NRA to spend money supporting campaigns in Ohio? Right?
“With every twist and turn, the story only gets worse for the NRA. After months of dodging questions, the NRA has admitted it took money from one of Putin’s top allies, who is reportedly under FBI investigation.
The Democratic National Convention, where Biden is to be formally nominated, falls after Ohio’s ballot deadline of Aug. 7. The convention will be held Aug. 19-22 in Chicago.
Since Ohio changed its certification deadline from 60 to 90 days ahead of the general election, state lawmakers have had to adjust the requirement twice, in 2012 and 2020, to accommodate candidates of both parties. Each change was only temporary.
If all the candidates aren't on the ballot, Congress should not accept their votes for president and toss the entire state out. That's ridiculous.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s Republican Gov.
Mike DeWine said Thursday that he is calling a special session of the General Assembly next week to pass legislation ensuring President Joe Biden is on the state’s 2024 ballot.
The question of whether Biden will appear on the fall ballot has become entangled in a partisan legislative fight to keep foreign money out of state ballot campaigns, a year after cash tied to a Swiss billionaire boosted a successful effort to enshrine abortion rights in the solidly red state’s constitution.
