(2,657 posts)However, he, by himself, does not have the power to move an election. So, he is seeking an injunction from the court. No one is sure if he will be able to get one. That is where the confusion is coming from.

(6,346 posts)It's not just for president, but for every other office on the general election ballot from senator to governor to county magistrate. Change it to mail-in - great idea! But cancel it entirely - no way!

"However, about 12 hours ahead of that scheduled opening, a Franklin County Common Pleas court judge still was considering whether to grant the request throwing elections workers across Ohio into confusion."

(6,053 posts)DeWine stated he does not have the authority to stop the election so he wants someone to file a suit (which he supports) to delay the election. Tis a bit convenient, given the fact that he has been getting a lot of calls and knows delaying the election makes sense politically and medically given the social distancing restrictions enacted. He has done a good job on this issue, but nevertheless I find it ironic.

(1,866 posts)Its business as usual unless they hear otherwise. Gov. DeWine asked the courts to decide. So far, nothings been decided.

(31,261 posts)It, in fact, could be much worse from a safety standpoint.
DeWine could have done what Florida is doing, implement safety procedures for poll workers to follow, but he chose naked politics.

(1,866 posts)workers will be safe tomorrow? There are other ways to vote. These are extraordinary times. Not a time for business as usual.

(31,261 posts)All that can be done is for procedures for poll workers to be in place. Same whether it is tomorrow or June.

(46,608 posts)Court decided election must go on.
DeWine should have asked much earlier to postpone it, not the evening before the election.
As it is, this is going to be a giant mess, because poll workers were wrongly told not to show up.
