>Need diggz on TORE MARAS
Her lawyer has some interdasting neighbors
The Ohio Supreme Court ordered Tuesday that QAnon follower and podcaster, Terpsehore Maras, be put on the ballot for Ohio secretary of state this fall.
Maras has supported policies such as returning to a paper ballot system and eliminating all voting machines in Ohio. On her podcast, The Tore Says Show, she has made unproven claims of a stolen presidential election in 2020 and supported QAnon conspiracies.
Earlier this year, Maras filed to run as a Republican with hopes of challenging incumbent Secretary of State Frank LaRose in the May primary, but didn't make it onto the ballot. Now, Maras is running as an independent, but Republicans claimed she did not have the required amount of valid voter signatures to qualify.
Justin Bis, executive director for the Ohio Republican Party, filed the challenge, questioning the validity of 35 of Maras' 5,010 signatures. Ohio requires that candidates collect 5,000 valid voter signatures to get onto the ballot.
"I firmly believe that the basic signature process is clearly defined in the law," Bis wrote in a statement. "If Ms. Maras can't figure it out, then she certainly isn't qualified to be Secretary of State."
The objections to the signatures included incomplete or incorrect addresses, dates, and signatures, including mismatches with what was recorded in the voter registration database.
Attorneys for Marasargued that incomplete addresses were not mandatory under law to compel a signature’s invalidation, and that whether an address was correct or not was up to the local boards of elections.
“We count on the local boards of elections… to know their community,”said Warner Mendenhall, the attorney,who said in smaller places, it’s clear where someone lives even if one doesn’t completely list their entire address.
Mendahall also said that signature mismatches could be due to the awkwardness of signing digitally.
