Amy Acton just stopped by the Franklin County Board of Elections to talk with media and greet voters waiting in line (from the other side of the legal barrier.)
Franklin County is averaging about 6,000 early voters a day this week, which is insane. There was a very long line.

Ohio GOP state rep Tex Fischer on The Rooster's trial:
“So if one of us doesn’t want to get Shrexted by The Rooster, I think just blocking his number would probably be a more appropriate response than calling the cops and having him hauled off to jail.” signalohio.org/ohio-blogger-…

I left the Wichita Eagle more than a month ago to teach fulltime. As part of these layoffs, my position covering local government will now not be filled, leaving the job up to the remaining reporters to pick up what they can.
McClatchy, whose titles include The Miami Herald and The Sacramento Bee, executed its most severe layoffs in years on Thursday, cutting newsroom staff at some papers by upwards of 40%.

This will be a long thread. Please stick with it.
The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)
