“It Will Fall On Him:” LaRose Faces “Blowback” for Close Ties to State Issue 1, Incompetence
August 3, 2023
5 days until Ohioans decide on LaRose’s amendment
Ohioans will decide on Frank LaRose’s amendment in five days and LaRose’s close ties to State Issue 1 continue to cause “blowback” – with pundits noting that if State Issue 1 fails it could “fall on” LaRose and “hurt” his Senate campaign.
While LaRose continues to be dogged by ethics complaints and controversies for making himself the face of State Issue 1, his incompetence is on full display.
LaRose’s office sent out an email to poll workers this week with the incorrect date for the August 8th election. Following his latest LaWhoops, LaRose reported that over half of Ohio’s counties are short on poll workers – with over a quarter of counties short of the minimum required to conduct the election.
“The writing is on the wall: LaRose’s missteps have hurt himself and State Issue 1 while suffocating his Senate campaign launch,” said ODP spokesperson Reeves Oyster. “If State Issue 1 fails, LaRose will be crowned Ohio’s biggest loser.”
