It’s a process described in law and with lots of formality, but little suspense.
President Donald Trump’s Ohio campaign adviser Bob Paduchik was named the chair of the state’s 55th electoral college. He announced the unanimous vote to the electors and observers in the Ohio Senate chambers – all of whom wore masks and were seated far apart.
Trump won Ohio by a little over 8 points. The pandemic and record turnout made this election challenging for elections officials, poll workers and voters, said Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
“Working together, we were able to accomplish something that many thought was impossible – the most difficult election of our lifetime. It’s not hyperbole to say the 2020 was perhaps the most difficult election ever conducted in the state of Ohio.”

Marathon County Republican Party leadership has sent a resolution to several state lawmakers calling for them to select ten electors that will cast ballots for current President Donald Trump when the Electoral College meets in Washington.
Spokesman Kevin Hermeleing says for them, there s too many question marks about votes cast in the most populated counties of the state.
He says in addition to the resolution the group is also providing support to the Trump legal fight in several states.
“We recently made a donation to the legal defense fund that has been put forth through some of the lawsuits that have been taking place since election day”, said Hermeleing.
