[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the NYT.  Seems that democrats are choosing to keep foreign money instead of having Biden on the ballot.

[b]Democrats would rather protect Hansjörg Wyss than get Joe Biden on the statewide ballot,” Mr. LaRose, the Ohio secretary of state, who first warned Democrats of the deadline issue, said in a statement on Thursday.[/b]

Republicans in the Ohio Senate advanced a bill on Wednesday [b]that would resolve the issue but attached a rider that would ban foreign money in state ballot initiatives, over the objections of Senate Democrats.[/b] The House speaker, Jason Stephens, who is fending off a monthslong effort by some Republicans to oust him and needs support from Democratic lawmakers in the minority to stay in power, did not take up the measure, and the legislature adjourned with no solution in place.

Charles Lutvak, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said that Mr. Biden would be on the ballot in all 50 states.

At the heart of the issue is a partisan fight over donations by foreign nationals in support of ballot initiatives in Ohio, which Republicans in the state blamed for the passage last year of a constitutional amendment enshrining access to abortion in the state. [b]Hansjörg Wyss, a Swiss billionaire, is a major donor[/b] to one of the progressive groups that campaigned in Ohio in support of the measure, and Republicans supporting the measure have repeatedly singled out Mr. Wyss as a target of the ban.[/quote]

The billionaire in question lives in Wyoming .
It’s  fine for republicans to funnel dark Russian money through to their campaigns. It’s great when billionaires from Indiana flood Ohio with money to enshrine Christian fascism. 
But god forbid democrats have some money to fight back.
Biden will get on the ballot.
And to all the morons on this thread advocating for democrats to pull out of the state…
Sherrod Brown is up for reelection.

It is ok to be upset that you were called out, it hurts, I get it.

And I should not have to explain the difference between the US citizens of Indiana giving funds versus a foreign national giving funds to federal and state elections.

Just admit that democrats love, love, love foreign interference with elections if it suits them.  See the Steele dossier.

I'll let you get back to your Russian conspiracy theories.  [/quote]
