We have always wondered why the Republican’s say nothing ever about Democratic ballot chicanery. Well now we have learned that Republicans are equally as guilty. They really are the stupid party. One doesn’t expect ethics from Democrats. I guess one doesn’t from Republicans either.
I hope his campaign is robocalling to let folks like me know about it; I vote next Tuesday.
I went back to Ohio
My ballot was trashed
All set up to confuse me
Guess the checks had been written
and cashed
Hey, Ho!
Way to go
Ohio!
It looks a little confusing, sure. But how does this affect one candidate more than any other?
The double listing of Presidential candidate is indeed odd. To make it more odd, the two lists of names are not in alphabetical order, but two different random orders.
Much ado about nothing. Delegates-at-large and district delegates selected separately. No big deal.
So how is it different for voters for any other candidate? It’s not just a Trump thing right? Or are you saying Trump voters are dimmer than other Republican voters?
Homer, I understand the fear, but I think the ballot is legit.
There are two choices that can be made. One is for the delegates for your district (10th) and one is for the delegates at large. So in theory you could select Kasich for your district’s delegates and Trump for the at large delegates.
At least that’s the way I’m reading it.
“Stop Trump” seems to apply exactly equally to all Republican candidates.
Looks like somebody is a little whiny.
Ahh...EVERY candidate on the ballot is in the same situation with their names appearing twice. It doesn’t disadvantage any candidate more than the rest of the candidates.
So ..... lighten up Francis, it’s not an anti-Trump or anti-anybody conspiracy.
Somebody Needs a Snickers....
That’s simply not true. It has nothing to do with Trump. The ballot was always set up this way, and the vote that will be counted to determine the primary winner is the at-large vote. No one NEEDS to vote in both places. By the way, what is so confusing about voting for your candidate in both places where his name appears?
You want confusing, try Pennsylvania, which has always had a “beauty contest”, where you vote for the presidential candidate. There is also a vote by district for delegates, who are listed under their own names, without any indication of who they are pledged to, which did determine the delegates to the convention. So, you could vote for your candidate in the beauty contest, and they would show as the winner of the state, but, unless you know the delegates pledged to your candidate, you could end up voting for someone else’s delegates.
Bttt
Of course the GOP establishment is against him. He's not really a Republican much less one of them. Single Payer, Individual Mandate, Planned Parenthood Support, Higher Tax Rates, and LGBT special rights aren't exactly Republican positions. They hate Cruz too and he's never been anything but a Republican, just of the Libertarian TEA Party variety. We all want the Quislings defeated and replaced by men and women who will hog tie and gut the Democrats. Question is if Trump agrees with the Democrats on so many litmus test issues why do we expect him to not collude with them in office? He seems to reserve most of his venom for his "fellow" Republicans of whatever stripe.
Just check Donald Trump twice. Easy-peasy.
The GOP-e forgets that conservatives are usually smarter than liberals. Or is Ohio a duplicitous “open primary” state?
You are voting for seperate set of delegates.
District delegates
Delegates at large
I’m assuming district are just that some district level
At Large would be statewide I’d think
Looks like Kasich’s name appears twice too. So how is that picking on Trump?
I posted your link to Trump’s facebook page. Someone had already posted it.
The Ohio ballot is always this way. Breath and count to ten, Donald.
Uh.....ALL Presidential Candidates face the same ballot confusion.
If Trump supporters are more affected than the others, it’s an IQ problem.
