It's time for a serious review of the people making decisions that cost Ohio manufacturers and other electricity customers millions. Accountability starts at the top.

#BREAKING: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that a 2025 law restricting the ballot initiative process is unconstitutional and void in its entirety.

SB 1027 imposed county-by-county caps on petition signatures, plus new restrictions on circulators, petition summaries and funding.

[David Niven @nivenpolitics]

This effectively eliminates the veto since a bill wouldn't pass in the first place without majority support.

Amazing the clarity one gains on constitutional design the moment your party loses an office.

Ohio Democrats broke the Republican supermajority in the Ohio House, limiting the lawmakers’ ability to override vetos from incoming Democratic Gov.-elect Amy Acton. https://t.co/D7Cx5hRuOi

[Morgan Trau @MorganTrau]

I just asked Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine about possible Republican efforts to take away or lessen the powers of the governor prior to Gov-elect Dr. Amy Acton taking office in January. I asked if he would veto.

“No governor would sign.”

Happy Election Day! If you still have your absentee ballot, don't mail it. For your vote to count, you must deliver your ballot to the Board of Elections by 7:30pm today.

If you can't get to the BOE, you can vote provisionally at your polling location.

Spent an hour forty-five here earlier today - the major counties in Ohio all need at least two early voting locations

[Maria Bruno @MariaBruno01]

They should invent having more than one early vote location per county

The lines are long at Early Vote in many counties. Election officials are working to keep things moving.
They do not shut things down until every voter in line by 5pm has had a chance to cast their ballot.

There is no early voting tomorrow, 11/2.
