So. Some interesting things going on in my area. First off, there's a referendum in Ohio to overhaul how districts get drawn, and that's not even the most interesting thing about it. What's interesting is that the description of the referendum (courtesy of our Secretary of State) is such blatant propaganda against it that it ought to be unconstitutional. Like, seriously, I'm going to try to pare it down to just the worst parts but I'm struggling.
Sounds like we need another referendum to make that a job for a nonpartisan committee too. Also I'm memorizing the name "Frank LaRose." If that mother-puss-bucket tries to run for any elected office, I'm going to have to show up in March and ask for a Republican ballot again just to hurt his chances of surviving the primary.
Other things of note:
No less than three Republicans on the bench in our district court of appeals are running completely unopposed. Once again, our country would be a much better place if "none of the above" was a valid option for all seats.
One of the races for State Supreme Court is between two sitting justices. Howzat work?
Both of our candidates for state representative have never held political office before. And both, wisely, actually filled out Ballotpedia's interview, a rarity for state-level offices.
Our district's Democratic candidate for Congressional Representative will be serving the month following election day in jail for voter fraud.
Despite all the Trump and Bernie Moreno signs in our area, there's one local Democrat who has huge signs up all over the place; the Republican running for that office has none that I've seen. I guess people who actually care about local politics do still care about people over party.
Also, this happened:
(Womp womp.)
