Right Now Downtown

DUBIOUS DOWNTOWN ACHIEVEMENTS/ELECTION WINNERS & LOSERS

Aw, just kidding.  There are no losers here at 43215.  In this year’s election, there are just winners… and winners of interesting distinctions.

GREEN PARTY PRIZE
For those who have given up the polluting automobile in favor of an eco-friendly bicycle:  good news.  You don’t need a driver’s license in order to vote.

GREEN PARTY POOPER
But voters do need to show a legitimate form of identification.  Hope you didn’t go paperless this year too; the suggested forms of alternate ID are paper utility statements.  www.ohiovotereducation.com 

MOST POPULAR DOWNTOWN DESTINATION
With the looming threat of thousands of votes being labeled “provisional,” disgruntled voters may be clamoring to this downtown address:  Ohio Legal Rights Service at 50 West Broad Street.

BEST BOSS
Yours, especially in comparison to the Board of Elections.  Poll workers may NOT bring in laptops, newspapers, iPods, personal cell phones, radios, televisions… and food and drinks are banned from the tables too.

(UNINTENTIONALLY) FUNNIEST WEB ADDRESS
Jennifer Brunner’s office:  www.sos.state.oh.us/.  Funny, we always thought the SOS stood for her job title.

GOP AWARD
That’s GOP as in Grand Ol’ Party:  the grandest party is to-be-determined.  It’ll be downtown, though.  Our swankiest hotels are booked solid for post-election parties.
