    I'll give him credit, he said this **** so many times that many fools took this as fact and actually believe this **** despite all the legal losses his team suffered.

    A new poll of likely November 2026 Ohio voters shows Democrat Amy Acton leading Republican Vivek Ramaswamy by 10 percentage points in the race for governor — a striking reversal from just six months ago, when Ramaswamy held a double-digit lead of his own.

    The survey, conducted by EMC Research from Feb. 10 to Feb. 22, found Acton leading 53% to 43% among 1,343 likely November 2026 voters, with a margin of error of ±2.7 percentage points. Newsweek was among the first outlets to report on the results.

    The result is the latest indicator of a race that has moved sharply in Acton’s direction. In August 2025, an Emerson College poll had Ramaswamy up by 10 points — 49% to Acton’s 39%. By December, that same pollster found the race statistically tied, with Acton at 46% and Ramaswamy at 45%. The new February numbers represent an additional lurch in Acton’s favor, driven in part by what analysts and polling data suggest are several compounding vulnerabilities for the Republican front-runner.

    Ramaswamy struggling with his own party
    Perhaps the most telling number in the new poll is among Republican voters: Ramaswamy is drawing only 65% support from his own base. Acton, by contrast, has consolidated 82% of Democratic voters. Independent voters are breaking 51%-46% for the Democrat.

    This Indian sambo soldier needs to give it up. Only 65% support within your own party? Yikes

    they thought they could get away with being diet republicans and got their cheeks clapped

    Trump and his cabal banking on heavy voter suppression via voter intimidation, some form of SAVE act, gerrymandering, etc. What they won't anticipate will be the number of non-voters on the right who are fed up with the bullshit but don't want to admit it.

    Agreed......question about the Save Act, they want us to have ID when we go vote, I have always had to show my TX DL.....do some states allow you to vote with no ID or am I missing something here

    They're going to pull the 'you have to have a Real ID' or some other shenanigans.

    It's more restrictive than that.

    It has to be a Real ID from one of those 5 states. Otherwise you're going to need a very specific type of birth certificate or a passport.

    A Texas Real ID by itself wouldn't cut it. You'd need the specified type of birth certificate as well to vote with your Texas Real ID Driver's License if you want to vote.

    States that historically do NOT require ID at the polls
    • California

    • District of Columbia

    • Illinois

    • Maine

    • Maryland

    • Massachusetts

    • Minnesota

    • Nevada

    • New Jersey

    • New Mexico

    • New York

    • Oregon

    • Vermont
    These states instead use methods like:

    • Matching your name to the voter roll

    • Signature verification

    • Providing personal info (address, DOB, etc.)

    Fraud happens as deceased people, those who moved, or those who don't show up will have their names and DOB used in "ballot stuffing". No ID required. It's not a coincidence these are all very blue states.

    You can just use a passport. 185 million Americans have a passport. If you don't have one, the process of getting your birth certificate is the bare minimum of competence that should be required to vote. In general, everyone should have to pass some kind of basic competence test to vote.

    That isn't correct. There isn't large amounts of fraud
