OM DENNE EPISODE
This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac and Hayden dive into the latest Richland County headlines, including the World of Outlaws sprint cars returning to Mansfield Speedway after 45 years, local aging advocate Duana Patton taking her message about mental health to the United Nations and Ontario City Council considering an extension of its moratorium on new data centers. Plus, with election season in full swing, Carl counts down his Top 5 H.L. Mencken quotes about politics and shares a few thoughts about the endless barrage of campaign mailers filling his mailbox.
Later, we welcome Matt Finfgeld and Jane Zimmermann, the bipartisan leadership team at the Richland County Board of Elections, for a timely and informative conversation ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. They answer some of the most common questions voters have, including how to check your voter registration, find your polling location, look up a sample ballot and make sure your vote counts. They also explain what happens behind the scenes on Election Day, how ballots are secured and counted, and why some of the most persistent misconceptions about election integrity and vote counting simply aren't true. Whether you're voting early, by mail or in person on Election Day, this conversation offers practical information to help Richland County residents head to the polls with confidence.
