Tuesday's primary will take place
The Tuesday, March 17, Ohio primary election will take place.
The election was in question until Monday evening when an Ohio judge rejected officials' request to cancel in-person voting.
The following details are from Business Insider:
"We cannot tell people to stay inside, but also tell them to go out and vote," Gov. Mike DeWine tweeted on Monday afternoon. He also expressed concern for both voters and elderly poll workers, who are especially vulnerable to the virus.
DeWine's announcement came after Louisiana, Georgia, and Puerto Rico postponed their presidential primaries until May or June to prevent the spread of the coronavirus as public-health officials urged against people congregating closely together in public spaces.
Ohio is set to allocate 136 pledged delegates to the national convention with its primary election.
DeWine tweeted on Monday that the state filed a suit asking a judge to sign off on postponing the March 17 Democratic presidential primary and US House primaries until June.
