It should come as no surprise that south central Ohio voted overwhelmingly Republican in 2024 (Trump got 78% of the vote in Vinton County). Ohio has a Republican Governor (Mike DeWine) and super majorities in both houses of the State Legislature. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Donald Trump bet heavily on the Spurs to win Game 3 and then showed up at MSG to jinx the Knicks. I have no evidence to support this but I have a strong "feeling" so it must be true.
