I understand it's not as easy for Trump to get the big money anymore.

Isn't the Trump campaign lagging behind Biden in fund-raising in the last month or two?

These are likely absentee ballot requests that were sent to every registered voter in Ohio.

The name and address of the voter was printed atop the form, if I recall correctly (I tossed mine, having already applied).

There seems to be much confusion between the absentee ballot application and the actual ballot, which has not yet been mailed out to the voter in Ohio. Actual Ohio absentee ballots will be mailed during the coming week.
I believe the confusion is among those who have not used the absentee request system in the past.

Could also be some are deliberately sowing discord.
That's a whole 'nother story...

It's not unusual for one who causes evil to be injured or sickened by their own doing.

Think of the drunken driver who becomes injured and maimed by an accident he caused.
Or the thief shot and sometimes killed by the homeowner.

It's not especially hard for us to take the emotion out of the situation and realize on a rational basis that the perpetrator did in fact cause his/her own injury and ensuing problem, but that the result for him does not have to be tit-for-tat.

That is why so many of us oppose the death penalty.
We are not seeking vindictive revenge, even though the perpetrator patently did wrong.
We do not seek "an eye for an eye".

"Love" your enemies might be a little tough to conjure up, but surely we can wish them no harm and hope for future redemption.

Where are you located (which state?) that requires going to 100% virtual medical visits?

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.
Sounds like you have a good and very astute physician working with you.

Tawdry.

Is she a home-wrecker?
Her boyfriend, Don Jr. was married with five children, as I recall.
When and how did the music end?

I question the exerpertise of those who would make such a decision.

I hope (and presume) you were permitted to vote.
Same situation in my family; because of a stroke, family member now quasi-prints name rather than cursive writing. She votes absentee, and application has been accepted at Board of Election, and I have no reason to believe her ballot would not be accepted.

In Hamilton County, Ohio, I recommend contacting Caleb Faux, member of Board of Election and former director of same, online with any questions/doubts.
