ABOUT THIS STATE
Ohio, you have a lot to be proud of: Home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the "One and Only Presidential Museum." There's even a National Ohio Day. Well, it's time for you all to make *us* proud and vote up and down the ballot, from Governor and Senator to the House of Representatives and the State Legislature. Ohio has its statewide primary and general elections on May 3 and November 8, respectively. There may also be a special election taking place on August 2, but that is still to be determined. Here's what you need to know about voting this year in the Buckeye State. (Source: Ballot Ready)
