They’re playing dirty.
Gov. Mike DeWine has sided with the Senate Republican ploy to score political paybacks as a condition to grant Biden ballot access Again. Turns out underhanded, undemocratic schemes to consolidate unilateral power are a feature, not a bug of Ohio’s one-party tyranny in the state.
Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman is a control freak. The Lima Republican didn’t hesitate to draft a plan that would subvert the sovereignty of voters and roll it into a simple ballot fix. Huffman’s nemesis, Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens, didn’t hesitate to crater the Senate legislation and ditch a clean ballot resolution to certify Biden for the general election because “why create a stir that’s not necessary.
The devil is in the details of this disingenuous move which goes beyond banning foreign nationals with new requirements and hurdles intended to stop grassroots groups in their tracks. It is Huffman’s way to make it even more difficult for ordinary citizens to launch a ballot initiative — especially one opposed by the ruling class.
