Court Rules Ohio's Primary Will Go On As Planned

Governor Mike Dewine of Ohio recommended delaying in-person voting due to COVID-19, but lacked the authority to change the primary election date. A lawsuit was filed, but a judge ruled against it. On the same day, President Trump issued stricter guidelines to combat the virus, including avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people. The CDC also advised against gatherings of 50 or more for the next 8 weeks. Dewine had already ordered bars and restaurants to close, allowing only takeout and delivery. Ohio, along with Florida, Arizona, and Illinois, was set to hold primaries as scheduled.
