No Heart In OH!

Red state tactics could keep Biden off the ballot in Ohio. Sherrod Brown faces a tough fight to secure another six year term.

Fair elections matter.

Republicans only believe in election integrity when they win or when they put obstructions 

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and his Republican allies are trying to keep President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris off the ballots come November.

They already have a gerrymandered U.S. House member map that favors Republicans I. A 3 to 1 ratio. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Rep. Emilia Skyes (D-OH) and Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) are politically vulnerable in their districts thanks to Republicans incorporating ruby red counties in blue cities like Toledo, Akron and Cincinnati.

Their policies has driven population away from Ohio. The only cities in the state growing are Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati. Ohio has a population of 11.7 million residents.

Columbus has a population of 1.02 million residents. Cincinnati has a population of 304,000. Cleveland has a population of 367,000.

Columbus is split into four areas. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH), Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) each have a portion of Columbus.

The whole state in general will lose to North Carolina and Georgia come 2030.

North Carolina Republicans are also doing the same shady shit like Ohio where they're incorporating Raleigh, Greensboro, High Point, Greenville, Winston-Salem and Charlotte with red leaning counties.

Ohio Republicans want to keep it in Trump pocket.

Ohio’s secretary of state on Friday signaled that the Democratic National Convention may take place too late for President Joe Biden to appear on the general election ballot in the state, according to a letter obtained by NBC News.

“The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to convene on August 19, 2024, which occurs more than a week after the August 7 deadline to certify a presidential candidate to the office,” LaRose wrote to Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Liz Walters.

ABC News first reported about the existence and content of this letter.

In the note, LaRose goes on to say that the oversight can be rectified in two ways: either by the Democratic Party moving up its nominating convention or by getting the Ohio state legislature to “create an exemption to this statutory requirement” by May 9 in accordance with state law.

Ohio state Rep. Allison Russo, the state House minority leader, and state Sen. Nickie Antonio, the state Senate minority leader, were also copied on LaRose’s letter.

A spokesperson for the Biden campaign told NBC News that the campaign is “monitoring the situation in Ohio and we’re confident that Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states.”

As a major political party, the Democratic Party appears on ballots in all 50 states.

In the primary contest earlier this year, Biden opted not to appear on the ballot in New Hampshire because its primary was held in violation of the Democratic National Committee, which approved a calendar that would have seen South Carolina hold its primary first. Biden nonetheless won the New Hampshire primary on a write-in campaign.
