Well, at least you gave me something else to be outraged about instead of the drama unfolding in lower Manhattan! The hits just keep on coming . . . But I’m glad you’re on the job, David.

David, another amazing story of corruption. Do you know of any journalists in Ohio who are working on a series of detailed stories based on these episodes of lawlessness? I'm confident 99% of Ohio voters have no idea this is going on. Some still read the newspapers; OK, maybe not many...

Don't know of any 'true' newspapers here anymore. The Lake County paper where I'm at is good for obituaries and 'soft' right-wing propaganda. The only news source in Ohio worth anything - in my humble opinion - is online. It's the Ohio Capital Journal. But they don't yet have much of a footprint. I share their stories as much as possible, hoping they can get more deserved attention.

The Media and Democracy Project has a pretty long list of local news media in Ohio, for what it’s worth:

Good point. I hope they're reading David's insightful analysis and one or more of them runs with it.

DeWine is going to soak Ohio for as much as he can on his way out the door and will install as many family members (and friends) as possible to keep the grift going. UGH.

It's no wonder you are such a talented novelist of crime drama and mystery. Sad that reality provides so much opportunity for honing your sleuthing skills..

I moved from Ohio to AZ, so there’s that. Idk. Fake electors who have yet to go to jail!
