Actually, the gerrymandering of the voting districts that were ruled illegal by the Ohio Supreme Court has a lot to do with it. An independent third party came up with new districts but the gop legislature drug their feet until it was too late to correct before the primaries. This allowed them to resubmit and use the previously ruled on map. Similarly to the school funding that has been ruled illegal by the Ohio Supreme Court for years, but just ignored. Rules don’t apply to anyone who gets to enforce, investigate and or punish themselves no matter what occupation they are in.

Exactly. Ohio is so far off the reservation in politics it just blows my mind the mentality. I have to ask myself when Im there is how the fuck did it get this bad.

Democrats haven't done well for themselves either. They have decent policy but terrible politics. Republicans will take advantage of that and have horrible policies but put out good PR to spin it no matter how really bad it is and fling it back on the Democrats so the cycle continues. And they have their hooks on those who don't know better.
