Court denies Ohio governor's request to delay Tuesday's primary until June due to coronavirus

(CNN)Ohio will join three other states in holding its Democratic presidential primary as scheduled on Tuesday after a court denied a request to move the state's contest over novel coronavirus concerns.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine had asked the court to move the primary election to June amid the pandemic. The court's denial comes as the spread of the virus has caused a major disruption to American life as government officials work to stem the pandemic. Illinois, Florida and Arizona will also hold their elections Tuesday as planned.

On Monday, President Donald Trump, as part of new guidelines to fight coronavirus, advised people not to gather in groups of more than 10, and asked people to stay away from bars, restaurants and food courts and to not travel, if possible.

1. Shame on them for reporting false information to begin with!

[Claustrum]

4. Yes. MSNBC said it was up to court so no definitive answers yet earlier n/t

[LisaL]

7. CNN actually posted that court granted DeWine's request.

Which was false. Court denied request. Election must go on.

8. I see, thanks for the clarification n/t

2. Cheers!

3. Good. We need to get the primaries over with...

[William769]

5. I am so sorry I posted the original story.

9. Not your fault.

You expect CNN should report correct information, and they reported false information which they apparently got out of their ***.

15. Hey, the BOE sent me a text saying it was cancelled

And I'm a poll worker! Not your fault there is confusion!!!

But there go the drinks I was going to have tonight...

16. You did the right thing. It gave us an opportunity to make sure

@merica knew it was wrong so he could correct it.

6. These R Governors

See a distinct benefit in keeping the Democratic primary from finalizing - especially coalescing around Joe Biden. They want to tear us apart as we are now pulling together - mostly. I hope there is enough of an answer tomorrow after those four states vote, that we can finally be narrowed down to just one candidate and go after The Orange One with a vengeance.

11. This is going be a big giant mess.

Poll workers in OH were already told not to show up, before DeWine's request was denied.
So how are we supposed to vote if poll workers don't show up?

[Music Man]

12. I think that is conspiracy nonsense.

There is another thread to this effect in the forum, and it's silly.

Kentucky and Louisiana are also moving their primaries. Both of those states have Democratic governors, and I can't imagine either of those two are doing it to support Bernie Sanders or rip the party apart.

Could it be that they're just taking health precautions?

[DrToast]

14. Agree 100%

[LisaL]

17. Nothing has been moved in OH.

[liberal N proud]

10. My take on this; Ohio could have been a litmus test on delaying or canceling elections

But then I can be skeptical when it comes to these monsters

[Sloumeau]

13. Good for the judge!

it is too close to cancel. if the Governor wanted to do this, he could have done it weeks ago.
