I've thought about the positive effects of the OH GOP adding party labels in this SC election. Spectacular back fire.
Democrats win 2 Ohio Supreme Court seats
Ironic that Justice Jennifer Brunner challenged the legality of Republicans adding party labels to ballot list of high court candidates...& then winning likely to some degree b/c of her party ID

Four years ago, Pres. Biden nominated Scott Colom to serve as a federal judge in Mississippi.
Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker supported the nomination of Mr. Colom. The state's other senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith, refused to do so based on absurd claims.
Mr. Colom reached to Sen. Hyde-Smith to address her concerns and respectfully point out misunderstandings on her part and appeal to her better angels.
Other prominent Mississippi Republicans reached out to Sen. Hyde-Smith asking her to reconsider and support Mr. Colom's nomination.
She still refused, effectively killing his nomination for no good reason.
She's now on the verge of losing her seat to Scott Colom, who would have never been a threat if she had supported his judicial nomination.

will Mike DeWine commit to vetoing every power grab this legislature attempts during lame duck?
Breaking: Gov. Brian Kemp just said he will *not* call a special legislative session to redraw Georgia’s political boundaries or limit the powers of Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms. @ajc #gapol

Even if the remaining precincts come in tonight, given the large amount of outstanding provisional and military ballots, it’s hard to see the Ohio Attorney General’s race having a clear winner in the next 24 hours.
I want to thank all my supporters and I’ll have more to say when all votes are officially counted.

He's in North Olmsted, which is a moderate part of Cuyahoga county.
He should go down to E55th and Woodland as polls close

Before you vote tomorrow, fill up your tank and go grocery shopping — it will inform your decision.
My only prediction is that I stay up late drinking, either in celebration or depression. (that's the great thing about drinking it works for both)
Already got my personal day in for tomorrow.

Republicans are too lazy to work on a Monday at noon.
The tale of 2 bus tour stops at approximately 11am on a Monday.
The Republican bus tour packed Champs Pizza in Thornville, Ohio with hundreds of fired up supporters.
The democrat bus tour was in Marietta, Ohio and was greeted by exactly 19 people.

He should call @jchabria, whom he bragged about sharing an office with and served in his administration

Former Ohio GOP congressman slams Vivek Ramaswamy attack ad w/Amy Acton's mother
"Any Republican who fails to distance themselves from this ad risks taking on water as well"
For those who follow the daily polls and political trends, the floor may have just fallen out from under the Republican campaign for Ohio Governor.
And any Republican who fails to distance themselves from this ad risks taking on water as well.
I have to give Jon Husted credit. He said he would not have run the ad. That was the right response. While he stopped short of outright condemning it, he made his position clear.
Vivek Ramaswamy needs to pivot, and quickly. Stop defending the ad and start talking about his policies, his vision for Ohio, and why he believes he is the better candidate.
If he chooses to double down, I don't see anything good coming from it.
Here's what too many people in politics seem to forget:
Voters don't always elect the most qualified candidate. They often elect the candidate they like, trust, relate to, or even sympathize with.
You can have the strongest résumé, the best policies, and the most impressive background, but none of that guarantees victory if voters don't like what they see or hear.
And when voters believe someone has been treated unfairly, sympathy can become a powerful political force.
Elections aren't won simply by convincing voters that your opponent is worse. They're won by convincing voters that you're better.
That is a lesson every candidate, Republican or Democrat, would be wise to remember.

For everyone now trying to deny, twist or walk back your previous remarks defending this atrocious ad: please see the screenshots below. 👇
This is WHO they are. Exploiting a survivor’s childhood sexual abuse for political gain should NEVER be normalized, and voters should hold them accountable.
They are insulting Ohioans’ intelligence by expecting us to confuse attacking a survivor w/disproving her account.
And if you’re helping turn her childhood trauma into a debate about whether a CHILD did enough to report or escape her own abuse, you’re playing right into their hands.
Y’all hold a CHILD to a higher standard than the President of the United States, the same man whose name appears repeatedly in the Epstein files? Or Husted and Ramaswamy who have taken THOUSANDS of dollars from co-conspirators?? Check your pulses, y’all are not okay.
Where’s this hateful, ugly energy when it comes to demanding transparency from the POTUS?
Put this energy into DEMANDING your lawmakers pass the reforms we proposed in the Hidden Predator Act, along w/other criminal and civil justice reforms that help survivors seek justice and hold abusers accountable.
Her stepfather was charged with raping her, released on $2,000 bond, fled Ohio and remained a fugitive until his death in 2004. How about THAT for the crowd that thinks judges are too “soft on crime”? 🤯
You’re demanding accountability from the CHILD instead of the adults who failed her. That’s a YOU problem. 🫵
Dr. Acton said it best: “Ohio raised me, Ohio SAVED me.”
That is gratitude for the people and communities who helped her survive and build her future. Calling it “victimhood” twists her acknowledgment of Ohio’s goodness into another excuse to attack her.
Survivors can tell the truth about what happened to us AND be proud of everything we’ve accomplished. We don’t owe you silence to prove our strength. 💪✊🩵
Ramaswamy’s campaign is spending $4 MILLION to air this horrendous ad.
Ohio’s children, and the adults who survived that abuse, are watching.
The Mahoning County Clerk of Courts is Republican Michael P. Ciccone. one simple google search.
@Grok, who is the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts?
Mahoning County, which is Democrat-run, is denying an Ohio journalist access to Amy Acton’s (@amyactonoh) court documents.
Mainstream media outlets claim that they have access to the court docs, so either some members of the media are allowed to view them and some aren’t, which is sketchy, or the MSM are lying about viewing the documents.
Oh, there are lots of questions now, the Community Notes on all the Acton posts should be removed.
Vote down the notes!
