Fucking CNN has finally gotten around to updating Ohio story

Court denies Ohio governor's request to delay Tuesday's primary until June due to coronavirus

(CNN)Ohio will join three other states in holding its Democratic presidential primary as scheduled on Tuesday after a court denied a request to move the state's contest over novel coronavirus concerns.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine had asked the court to move the primary election to June amid the pandemic. The court's denial comes as the spread of the virus has caused a major disruption to American life as government officials work to stem the pandemic. Illinois, Florida and Arizona will also hold their elections Tuesday as planned.

On Monday, President Donald Trump, as part of new guidelines to fight coronavirus, advised people not to gather in groups of more than 10, and asked people to stay away from bars, restaurants and food courts and to not travel, if possible.

See a distinct benefit in keeping the Democratic primary from finalizing - especially coalescing around Joe Biden. They want to tear us apart as we are now pulling together - mostly. I hope there is enough of an answer tomorrow after those four states vote, that we can finally be narrowed down to just one candidate and go after The Orange One with a vengeance.

Poll workers in OH were already told not to show up, before DeWine's request was denied.
So how are we supposed to vote if poll workers don't show up?

There is another thread to this effect in the forum, and it's silly.

Kentucky and Louisiana are also moving their primaries. Both of those states have Democratic governors, and I can't imagine either of those two are doing it to support Bernie Sanders or rip the party apart.

Could it be that they're just taking health precautions?
