There may be some local variations in the law on the matter, each state handles elections differently. But DeWine, a Republican, worked for the postponement, and judges eventually decided in his favor in suits brought to oppose his directive.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
