5 days before #Ohio's August 8's #SpecialElection regarding #Issue1, the #OhioGOP changed the locations of 50 voting precents for 47,000 voters. It's also the largest voting African American voting county in Ohio
There was no mainstream news coverage of it even though CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc all have press partners in Ohio and should have known about it
Newsweek covered it the day of the election.

@paul The change got covered pretty heavily in local news here in #Ohio.
The move wasn't a state GOP thing; it was that the local board of elections couldn't use the schools that they normally use for polling places, because the schools were closed for the summer. https://fox8.com/news/polling-places-for-aug-8-election-changed-in-cuyahoga-summit-counties/
Happened elsewhere in the state, too, just not so close to the election. https://www.nbc4i.com/news/your-local-election-hq/66000-franklin-county-voters-polling-places-moved-for-august-election/
They moved ours from the community center to the high school. We got our postcard around a week before the election.
