It is my recommendation that we postpone in-person voting until June 2, 2020. #COVID19 #COVID19OhioReady

We cannot tell people to stay inside, but also tell them to go out and vote. #COVID19 #COVID19OhioReady

I'm making this recommendation because we must also look out for our poll workers. #COVID19 #COVID19OhioReady

I believe when we look back on this, we'll be happy we did this. The votes that have already been cast will still be counted - and this recommendation would allow others to vote in the future. #COVID19 #COVID19OhioReady

A lawsuit will be filed to postpone the election until June 2, 2020. In the meantime, voters would still be able to request absentee ballots. It will be up to a judge to decide if the election will be postponed.
