From a Republican Ohio House of Representatives member, reacting to the DeWine administration's decision to close polling places tomorrow for health reasons

We have a constitutional crisis now in Ohio. I will be fighting in the AM to keep our polling locations OPEN in the 83rd district with law enforcement, as the Ohio Department of Health can not shut down an election. #ConstitutionalCrisis

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
