Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose continues to defend the integrity of voting by mail despite President Donald Trump’s attacks on the process.

On the eve of the scheduled March 17 Ohio primary Election Day, Gov. Mike DeWine and state health officials postponed voting as cases of COVID-19 in the state were climbing. The General Assembly subsequently moved the election to April 28 and required all ballots to be cast by mail, except for some with disabilities or who don’t have a home address.

DeWine, who is also a Republican, and LaRose have produced a video promoting voting through the mail in the upcoming contest.

1. My absentee was sent in

Last week with a line of cars behind me to drop theirs in the outside boxes at the Post Office.

There are times I do not admire Mike, but on this he is taking all the right steps!

3. Exactly! And he's never backed up a single one of his fake voter fraud claims. NOT one. I'm...

glad to see states moving in the obvious, logical direction of ensuring that voting gets done safely, for their voters.

Again, rump proves that he doesn't care about anyone else, but himself.

4. With each passing day ..

local and state elected leaders are making statements and decisions which show Trump for the ineffectual (and dangerous) boob that he is (no insult to boobs intended).

5. So trump is attacking a process that U.S. Servicemen and Women rely upon to cast their

ballot.
trump must really hate our military that much that he'd belittle the method they use for voting
