Ohioans voting alert.

Rep SOS has started his usual vote suppression, this time around, allowing only one drop box per county, no matter how populous.....now this....

Connie Schultz@ConnieSchultz
Why would anyone work the polls in Ohio if voters are not required to wear masks? Why would voters risk exposure to those unwilling to protect them? This attempt by a Republican Ohio SOS to suppress turnout is unconscionable, but not unprecedented here.


Voters without Masks won't be turned away.

Get it, fill it out and drive to county election center and use the official ballot box. Wear a mask.

Don’t delay.

Two stamps required if you have to mail it.

And make sure to tell the Republican Ohio SOS to go to hell if you get the chance!!

Vile wad of meat, Ken Blackwell, did the same voter suppression in 2004 when he was Ohio’s Secretary of State.

The Rethug state govt. is chickenshit to alienate any dumbass goon who might come out to vote for their Lord and Master and feels his/her rights are being infringed upon by being asked to not spread their germs around. God forbid they grow a spine this late to the show.

Call his office and demand additional drop boxes in larger counties. There is NO legal reason for limiting each county to a single drop box.

Keep the pressure on.
