  How anyone could vote for Kasich is beyond me.
  
  Kasich does not support increased funding for higher education, despite the fact that Ohio state funding for higher ed has dropped by 18% over the last five years. The practical implication of this is that state universities will be forced to raise tuition, which harms low-income students who can't afford sticker price for college.
  
  Kasich supports cutbacks on early voting, which allows people who work multiple jobs and whose employers won't let them come in late/early to cast their ballots. This is a bare attempt to exclude poor, minority voters who tend to vote Democrat. Evidence of voter fraud on which Kasich bases these views is literally nonexistent.
  
  Kasich does not think government should do anything to decrease greenhouse gases. We do not need politicians who bow to business and refuse to address long-term problems like climate change.
  
  Kasich does not support gay marriage. This is a basic human rights issue.
  
  Kasich does not support increased gun purchase restrictions. After all gun violence that has been in the news recently, this position is particularly upsetting.
  
  
  I could keep going, but you probably get my point. He sucks.

  I'm gonna vote after work.
  
  I'm gonna vote for Kasich because I believe everyone should vote on the same day.
  
  I don't think government should do anything to make industry reduce greenhouse gasses.
  
  I don't support gay marriage.
  
  I don't support additional gun control...........

  All positives. The only argument I have against Kasich is that he's a supporter of Common Core. Other than that, I have no complaints on the job he's done.
• justincredible

  

  Isn't he also a supporter of Obamacare?

  Are you one of those people who also think you shouldn't need any proof of identification to vote?

  Heck, our poll worker took the ID, had me tell her my address while she verified it on the ID, and then I went on my way.
  and the lady is my neighbor.
  
  Heck yeah ya should have to show some sort of ID to vote.
  Not a huge fan of Kasich but CoA posted alot of good things about the guy so I guess I dont feel so bad about my vote for him after all.

  To be honest, when this became a topic a few years ago I was very surprised that it wasnt already a law. Just seems like it is common sense to show one.
  But wait...that is prejudicial to the poor, right? (as they then log their complaint onto social media via their smartphone!)
• SportsAndLady

  

  I found it funny when registering and voting this morning in Illinois, the paper said to write your dl # on it. Then when I got to the lady at the desk she didn't ask me for my ID I tried giving her my id and she jumped back and was like noooo not necessary. Really? You don't need to see it!? SMH

  Do you have a reason to support his opponent, other than he's not Kasich? Not remotely good enough.

  Not voting. The only race I'm familiar with anyway is the NY gov. I'd vote Cuomo, he'll most likely win.

  Most likely doesnt even know what the opponent stands for, but hey, as long as it is not Kasich right?

  I'm way out of the loop with the Ohio race, but I'm with COA. I'd find it tough to support anyone who has strong views against gay marriage. If that's a primary talking point on someone's platform then GTFO.

  He seems to be a former small town mayor who is now the holder of a made-up county political patronage position.
