Just saw Ohio Secretary of State

On local news and he has a bet with Michigan's SOS that Ohio turnout will be higher than Michigan. The loser has to dress in the winners colors at the next Ohio State/Michigan football game. He believes Ohio will see record turnout this year....I hope that happens.

Not really. They've gerrymandered their state and federal congressional seats down to individual voters, practically, to guarantee the GOP keeps its majorities. No other state or federal offices are up this year (both Portman and Brown are safe), and neither DeWine nor LaRose owes Trump any fealty. This may be historical - it may be the most honest election Republicans ever have run in Ohio.

Yeah, this is damning with faint praise. But any praise for Republicans isn't easy for me. LaRose isn't as compromised as many in the GOP, apparently. Yee ha.
