Every vote this week helps set the tone for November and your voice matters most when turnout is low. Remind neighbors, family and friends to get out the vote, too!

Here’s when you can vote this week:
8am-5pm Tuesday, October 14 - Friday, October 17

Early voting is off to a slow start, with only 764 ballots cast so far and just 0.12% of absentee ballots returned. But that just means there’s plenty of room for us to make a difference.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Now, the process moves to the Ohio Redistricting Commission until October 31, when they must pass a bipartisan map. If they fail, Republicans can jam through a partisan map before November 30.

This delay isn’t just political gamesmanship. It’s part of a larger effort to run out the clock, silence voters, and keep gerrymandered districts in place.

Ohio Republicans have officially missed the first congressional redistricting deadline without ever proposing or negotiating a map.

Democrats are the only ones who’ve put forward a map. It reflects how Ohio actually votes: roughly 56% Rep & 43% Dem. Republicans? No map. No accountability.
