Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) said Monday night that he is Declaring a Statewide Health Emergency in order to Postpone Tuesday’s Primary Election due to the Coronavirus, essentially Overriding a Judge’s Ruling just hours earlier that Blocked the Governor’s Request to Delay the Election until June 2nd. “During this time when we face an unprecedented public health crisis, to conduct an election tomorrow would force poll workers and voters to place themselves at an unacceptable health risk of contracting coronavirus,” DeWine Tweeted.

DeWine said in his Health Emergency Announcement that Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, will “seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity.” After DeWine’s Announcement, LaRose issued a Directive Postponing the Primaries.

Former Ohio Department of Aging Director Judith Brachman, 81, filed a Lawsuit Monday in Franklin County so that Elderly Voters don’t Need to choose between their Health and Voting. Franklin County Common Pleas Court, Judge Richard A. Frye, Denied that Request on Monday Evening.

With DeWine’s New Health Emergency Announcement, the back-and-forth on whether Polls will be Open Tuesday has left many Poll Workers and Voters in Ohio wondering whether to Cast their Ballot In Person.

Then why Didn't the Governor Issue an All-Mail-Ballot Election Earlier?
