Wacky voting law allows Ohio citizens to switch party ballots come voting day
The Ohio presidential primary is on Tuesday, and it promises to carry on the illustrious tradition of Ohio elections: making a big mess.
Apparently, an Ohio law allows for Republicans and Independents to vote on a Democrat ballot, while maintaining a closed primary system. Which raises the question—should this sort of thing be allowed, or is it acceptable to change parties for the upcoming primary? And how can we be sure that this entirely excludes open primary voting behavior?
This is the state where, last May, a man was brought to trial for voting twice in the November 2006 elections in different counties. Mere coincidence? As C.S. Lewis once said, “If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.”
