Truman announced there was evidence the Soviet Union had recently conducted a nuclear test explosion. (The test had been carried out on Aug. 29, 1949.) In 1955, a jury in Sumner, Mississippi, acquitted two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, of murdering Black teenager Emmett Till.

The one remaining possible Republican holdout, Mitt Romney of Utah, said Tuesday he supports taking a vote. Still, with early voting for president already underway in several states, all sides are girding for a wrenching Senate battle sure to further split a torn nation. Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have launched one of the quickest conﬁrmation efforts in modern times. No court nominee in U.S. history has been considered so close to a presidential election. And it all comes as the nation is marking the grave milestone of 200,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic. During a private lunch meeting Tuesday at Senate GOP campaign headquarters, several Republican senators spoke up in favor of voting before the election. None advocated a delay. McConnell made no scheduling announce- ments but said once Trump announces his choice, the Senate Judiciary Committee will outline a plan. “We all anticipate it’s going to be an extremely well-qualiﬁed woman,” McConnell said. Democrats, led by presidential nominee Joe Biden, vow a tough ﬁght but need four GOP defections to block consideration. So far, two Republicans have said they oppose taking up a nomination at this time, but no others are in sight. Under Senate rules, Vice President Mike Pence can break a tie vote. As tributes poured in for Ginsburg with vigils and ﬂowers at the court’s steps, the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, said that “we should honor her dying wish,” which was that her seat not be ﬁlled until the man who wins the presidential lection is installed, in January.

It was 2018. The federal investigation into the previous House speaker had left the dais empty for months and the chamber at a standstill. But Cupp, who has served in all three branches of state government, demurred. It wasn’t the right time. Fast forward two years and two House speakers, Cupp’s moment had arrived. The conservative Republican and former Ohio Supreme Court justice was elected July 30 to lead the House in what the state Attorney General says will be “the greatest challenge of his career.” The house speaker remains one of the most powerful political posts in state government. The speaker has the ability to block or move legislation in addition to helping determine how the state spends billions of dollars earmarked for health care, education, criminal justice and other government programs. Cupp takes reign over the House during an unprecedented moment of division and tribulation for Ohio and the nation. His predecessor, fellow GOP state Rep. Larry Householder, was indicted earlier this summer on federal bribery charges in what prosecutors called the ‘largest bribery, moneylaundering scheme’ in state history. Cupp, a 69-year-old anti-abortion, pro-gun rights conservative, took Householder’s seat by one vote in the GOPcontrolled House, with every single Democrat and a few Republicans voting against him. Following Cupp’s election, colleagues and supporters of him joined in an unofﬁcial campaign, nominating him as “the last Boy Scout” in Ohio politics. He was praised as “an elder statesmen,” who is “studious and diligent,” with an “unimpeachable character.” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost shared anecdotes about Cupp’s dedication to growing his own heirloom tomatoes in February so that he can enjoy them come June. His wife Libby, a retired educator, whom he met while attending a convention for College Republicans, showed photos of the three llamas they rescued, Lima the Llama from Lima, Mocha Latte and Phantom of the Opera, to reporters and members on the House ﬂoor. Even Cupp himself has added to the narrative of his simple life and how it won’t change with the (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN promotion. “My wife will still make me take the garbage out every Sunday night. Clean out the cat litter boxes and those kinds of things,” Cupp told reporters upon being elected speaker. “I tell people if they think I’m more than I am, they should tell me because I don’t want to be.” But there are other views of Cupp — including from an old opponent, former Democratic Justice William O’Neill, who alleged years ago that Cupp violated his post’s ethics in accepting campaign contributions from the same energy company that is now at the center of the federal investigation into his predecessor. Householder and his four associates are accused of spending the money to boost themselves politically and personally, to stage often nasty campaigns to elect Householder loyalists, to buy votes for the bailout bill and to poison subsequent efforts to repeal it. All ﬁve men have pleaded not guilty. The federal investigation of the second Ohio House speaker in two years threw the already divided chamber into further disarray. But Cupp faces more than just an internal rift within his party and chamber. The new speaker comes in amid a pandemic that has left more than 4,000 Ohioans dead and hundreds of thousands unemployed across the state. There are tensions around mail-in voting less than two months before Election Day and gun violence continues to plague the state’s major cities. When asked why he accepted the nomination this time around, Cupp said this was part of the plan to “get the House back.” “I think I have the experience and the reputation to be able to get the House to transcend the issue that unfortunately befell upon it,” Cupp said in an interview with The Associated Press. Yost, a fellow Republican and former colleague of Cupp’s, said the stakes were higher this time and that the Lima native felt “a responsibility to the state to step in.” Many GOP House members tout Cupp as being the leader they need and a person who can bring unity to the House. “I think that we all reverted to someone who would not play politics, who has a record of honor and integrity, a record of being thoughtful and pensive, a record of bringing people together,” GOP state Rep. Niraj Antani said.

Individuals who own or occupy land within the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District and are 18 years of age or older may vote for Supervisor. There are 2 ways an eligible voter can cast a ballot: 1.) At the SWCD office from September 6, 2020 until October 19, 2020 during normal business hours 8:00AM to 4:30PM; or 2.) Voting absentee from September 6, 2020 until October 19,2020, by requesting the ballot application and election ballot from the SWCD office at the following address: 113 East Memorial Drive Suite D, Pomeroy OH 45769, or by calling 740-992-4282 or email jenny.ridenour@oh.nacdnet.net. Absentee ballots must be received by the SWCD office by 4:30 PM October 19, 2020. Meigs Supervisors will be elected to a three-year term commencing January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023. Nominees are: 1. Keith Bentz 2. Tonja L. Hunter 3. Michael C. Warner was “totally without merit” and political in nature. When asked about the campaign contributions over the years, Cupp pledged to donate the money he received from FirstEnergy since 2014 to charity. Several Democratic and Republican lawmakers have announced similar donations in the wake of the investigation into so-called dark money groups and their power in Ohio. O’Neill, who went on to take Cupp’s seat on the high court that year, said while many see his former opponent as a Boy Scout, he saw a side of Cupp that “horriﬁed” him as a sitting judge. O’Neill, who then sat on the 11th District Court of Appeals, was the target of a campaign pushed by the Ohio Republican Party on behalf of Cupp’s reelection bid in 2012 that accused him of being soft on rapists after he overturned a rape conviction and sent the case back to a lower court for a new trial. The response to what O’Neill called an unprecedented attempt to smear a sitting judge was outrage from both political parties. “Once people see what he has always done and what he’s doing now, the Boy Scout image is going to be history,” O’Neill said.

State Rep. David Leland, the ranking Democrat on the committee Cupp created to address the fate of HB6, says the newly elected speaker’s hesitance to quickly repeal the law could be due to contributions he’s received from FirstEnergy, the company investigators say secretly funneled millions to secure the $1 billion legislative bailout. “I’m sure he loves his family, pets his dogs, and takes the trash out,” Leland said. “But my concern is what he does with his ofﬁce and how it affects public policy.” Back in 2012, while Cupp was a state Supreme Court justice, his then-Democratic opponent Justice O’Neill ﬁled a complaint alleging Cupp and another justice violated the court’s ethical canons by accepting campaign contributions by FirstEnergy two weeks after hearing oral arguments in a case involving a company they owned.
