Republicans are trying to suppress the vote, period. It's obvious and it could be lethal. We rely on intelligent, well-intentioned, people of integrity to be our secretaries of state. Ohio is a poster child for the slow coup that the MAGA/corporates are pulling. They're trying to make officials like SOS Read of Oregon outliers. We also have to depend on the MAGA-led postal service for vote by mail. But it's the best plan for democracy and so there will be a target on it.

This is obvious. Republicans are a minority party and they're desperate. They are led and motivated by Big Corporate and powerful Silicon industries. They are powerful and relentless.

How do we fix it before it's gone? Thank you David, for your wonderful guest!

https://substack.com/@solveigspjeldnes2. @solveigspjeldnes2. I studied five years in Athens, BS and 1 year grad school. Got my MS at Ohio State. Look at my avatar pic taken in 1972 at Strouds Run. My grandfather emigrated from Italy to Ellis Island. He worked for FDR’s Works Progress Administration WPA to feed my father 3 sisters and 2 brothers so I could arrive lol. The bridge I am leaning against was built in 1938. Pic in homage to you nonno. Now, I am fighting fracking in Wayne National Forest.

What about ADA compliance with paper ballots? Can blind people vote independently in Oregon?
