The Ohio Statehouse and all state buildings in downtown Columbus will be closed Sunday through Wednesday amid feared pre-inauguration protests for which state officials promise a significant presence of force to deter violence.
Gov. Mike DeWine announced the closures at a Thursday morning briefing joined by state and city officials to detail preparations for a planned armed march on the Statehouse supporting the myth the presidential election was stolen from the now-impeached Donald Trump.
