NEVER, NEVER, EVER give one fucking quarter to POS Retrumplicans.

Many on here have chastised me for expressing what a worthless piece of amphibian shit Dewine is.

"Oh, but he hasn't been a complete dickwad on the Coronovirus... he's a "good" Retrumplican".

Let's see how good he is at reigning in his Dipshit Secretary of State.

My guess is you'll hear fucking crickets from Dewine about this.

Highlight:

Ohio Sec of State just spelled out a restriction to the location of drop boxes that appears nowhere [View all] soothsayer Aug 2020 OP

So how fast can they get a court challenge? hlthe2b Aug 2020 #1

I don't envision any court challenges. LisaL Aug 2020 #7

That isn't what I am saying. They need MORE drop off boxes, just as we do in Colorado-- hlthe2b Aug 2020 #10

I don't want less drop off boxes. LisaL Aug 2020 #14

I am not a Ohio attorney, but others have stated there is no restricition in law prohibiting hlthe2b Aug 2020 #16

I'm with you StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #24

Board of election in Cuyahoga County has drop off boxes in their office downtown. nt Doremus Aug 2020 #59

That's where the drop boxes are in OH. LisaL Aug 2020 #63

That is certainly implied by the language of the law - Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #2

Other states do it with no problem. StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #4

External drop boxes are an expansion, not a suppression of voting. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #5

You are correct on drop boxes, but I fail to see the reason why OH only allows LisaL Aug 2020 #6

That, I'll agree is voter suppression. n/t Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #46

Why the hell are you defending restricting drop-off boxes that can and are secured in other states? hlthe2b Aug 2020 #12

OH didn't have drop off boxes, as far as I can tell. LisaL Aug 2020 #17

Ohio never restricted drop off boxes so now that people need them StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #21

You can't restrict something you don't have. LisaL Aug 2020 #26

Ohio didn't have drop boxes because they weren't needed, not because they were restricted by law StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #29

Why exactly they weren't needed in OH as opposed to other states? LisaL Aug 2020 #31

You are aware that Trump is sabotaging the USPS, right? lagomorph777 Aug 2020 #37

No, I have been living under the rock. LisaL Aug 2020 #40

OK - yes that's why drop boxes are new in OH. They need to be as easy to access as Post Offices. lagomorph777 Aug 2020 #42

Because it's the law. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #47

So was notarizing absentee ballot applications in Rhode Island, yet SCOTUS upheld the unilateral hlthe2b Aug 2020 #48

I'm also an Ohio lawyer. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #50

So, post the verbiage so others here without access can see for themselves, especially hlthe2b Aug 2020 #51

Everyone has access. Ohio law is public information - Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #54

Post removed Post removed Aug 2020 #56

That's not accurate StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #61

Adding a dropbox at one location where people already can vote is NOT an expansion StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #23

We might have to figure a way to give people rides to the board of election to drop off their LisaL Aug 2020 #27

Imposing circumstances that require this kind of extraordinary effort is voter suppression StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #30

Destroying the post office so it can't deliver mail in ballots is voter supression. LisaL Aug 2020 #32

Exactly StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #33

Prior to COVID 19 Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #49

There is currently no law authorizing drop boxes anywhere in the state. So why is it ok for LaRose StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #62

I agree with you. LisaL Aug 2020 #15

You are exactly right about the rural vs. urban locations StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #22

Ridiculous. Colorado secures multiple drop off boxes the week before the election and has for years hlthe2b Aug 2020 #11

but since you don't have in person voting you only need one set of volunteers dsc Aug 2020 #18

We DO have in-person voting as well. You are totally ill-informed on this. hlthe2b Aug 2020 #19

OH has in person voting on election day, early voting in one location per county, and LisaL Aug 2020 #20

States mailing them out suffciently early (month ahead of time as CO does) will defeat Trump's hlthe2b Aug 2020 #25

It's not going to change in OH. LisaL Aug 2020 #28

Wow, just wow. hlthe2b Aug 2020 #13

They are not making it harder. They are making it easier. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #52

Absolutely not addressing the issue. You need to read my and other's posts hlthe2b Aug 2020 #53

See my other note. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #55

YOU MADE THE CLAIM BUT REFUSE TO SUPPORT YOUR OWN STATEMENT? I know what that means hlthe2b Aug 2020 #58

It means I've had 7 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #60

Let's see what a "great guy" Governor Dewine turns out to be maxrandb Aug 2020 #3

I don't think OH had drop boxes before at all. LisaL Aug 2020 #8

Anyone can be a "great guy" next to Trump so that isn't saying much JI7 Aug 2020 #9

The governor is not the superviser of the Secretary of State. Ms. Toad Aug 2020 #57

With surprising deference to SOS LaRose, it would appear he's equally displeased: OilemFirchen Aug 2020 #34

If anybody is surprised by lawmakers doing nothing to make it easier to vote, LisaL Aug 2020 #35

Indeed. OilemFirchen Aug 2020 #41

DeWineb s only level-headed very rarely - the exception, not the rule StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #45

The law is silent about drop boxes StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #38

Sounds like he is getting heat for it and wants to share the blame (not that there is no blame to LisaL Aug 2020 #39

Not defending him, but... OilemFirchen Aug 2020 #43

DeWine won't do diddly squat StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #44

Need to publicly call this out and defy the illegal order. lagomorph777 Aug 2020 #36
