An elections conspiracy theorist will be able to challenge Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose as a political independent in the Nov. 8 election after all after the Ohio Supreme Court voted Tuesday to restore her candidacy, overturning an earlier decision from LaRose’s office.

The state committee does not want any maga republicans to upset the good old boy applecart . Election denier is new speak for maga republican .

As such, the Democrat will likely win, it would seem.
