(16,532 posts).... we already had ours.
Was kind of thinking/hoping the national November presidential would be by mail for everyone. To deny trDump a chance to tamper with the election date or cancel because he considered voting would exasperate his Coronavirus National Emergency. Just too dangerous to have elections right now.

(42,967 posts)I got a text from the county BOE saying no election tomorrow minutes before the decision was announced and now I have to keep waiting to see where I'll be at 6:30 tomorrow morning.
I'll give DeWine the benefit of the doubt as trying to do the health "right thing" but not the legal "right thing". I can see him caught between the two and he's trying to have it both ways.
Which is why I've never voted for him.

(46,608 posts)The state of mass confusion. The day before the primary.
DeWine should have done it in advance if he wanted to postpone it.

A lot of people will think it was changed because CNN is reporting it. Why is CNN reporting it?

(46,608 posts)asking to postpone it. Judge said it was too late. Now it's going to be one big giant mess.
Poll workers might not show up?
People might think it was cancelled.
Which should make you happy because turnout could be low if people think it's cancelled.

(1,866 posts)know the Judges decision. They are going to show up. Most of them are poster children for the high risk group. They are taking their responsibility seriously. And they are exposing themselves to a potentially deadly disease. But, you know, the show must go on.

(46,608 posts)I didn't make that decision. Not sure why DeWine waited till the last minute. He knew election was coming and virus was spreading. Like I said, I am not exactly thrilled to be voting under the threat of corona virus.

(1,866 posts)que sera, sera. Everyone is flying by the seat of their pants. Including this Gov. When all the dust settles, well have the luxury of figuring out where all the bad decisions were made. I never liked DeWine. But Im not going to second guess him on this one. His timing may be terrible, but he tried to do the right thing.

(386 posts)By denying the request. There was absolutely no way to determine if this would not be worse by June. What then?
Im not sure why, if it was so important, the Governor waited until today to recommend anything.
