Short article. The gist is write in candidates must register with the state of Ohio 72 days before the election. If not, writing in a candidate on your Ohio ballot that didn't register means your vote doesn't count.

So for Ohio, the GOP is stuck with Trump.

2. Portman knows that but majroity of his supporters do not.

Basically he said something fake - LOL

3. i think he meant his vote is pro pence, not because he supports trump

Even though it will be the same as those who vote for trump because they like him.

It's like when idiots say "I'm not voting for x but agaisnt y".

4. He thinks voters are stupid

It looks like he denounced Trump, but h didn't.

5. Here's what I see happening with RNC and their minions

Rinse: To save your races, tell them you're denouncing Trump.
Trump: Wrong!
Rinse: No, they say they're voting Pence and he's on your ticket. You still get the vote.
Trump: Oh.

6. You can go to ballotpedia.org

to find the rules for write-in candidates, sample ballots and any number of other things about elections and rules. It is accurate and nonpartisan. I have gone there many times after reading misleading things on the internet.

I don't work for them!

7. Oh good.

All the more reason to encourage erstwhile Trump voters in Ohio to write in Pence, or anyone else they want to.

We want to see as low a vote total for Trump as possible.

8. Either Portman is lying or he is ignorant of the rules in Ohio.

Portman is a snake. After selling out Ohioans while he helped the Bush regime send jobs to China, he now runs ads saying how great he is for jobs. Thee media allows his lying ads to run unchallenged.

9. It would appear he is ignorant.

He claims he will vote for Pence for president. But there is no way for him to do so. Pence can not be a write in candidate because he didn't declare.

10. In that case, tell the Republicans in Ohio that they definitely should write in Mike Pence.
