Ohio Is A Model for the Nation
Ohio is receiving praise from around the nation for how smoothly the election was run. Secretary LaRose wrote a column for the Cincinnati Enquirer about how we prepared for the election and what we need to do to improve upon our success. Click here to read Secretary LaRose’s recent column in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“Over a year ago, I wrote on my chief of staff’s white board that "on Nov. 4, the world will know and believe the results of Ohio’s presidential election." That mission was accomplished, and it has far more to do with the months of work preceding Election Day than the speed of counting on election night.”
