and they're the ones discriminated against the most in Ohio.

There were fewer voting machines per citizen in black neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods in Franklin County, Ohio, due to Republican Matt Damschroder diverting machines.

Franklin County Board of Elections Director Matt Damschroder is also the former Executive Director of the county’s Republican Party...

The Columbus Dispatch confirmed an Election Day Free Press story that far fewer voting machines were present in predominantly black Democratic inner-city voting wards than in the recent primary election and the 2000 presidential election, with their lighter turnouts. The reduced number of machines caused voters to wait up to seven hours and wait an average of approximately three hours. One Republican Central Committee member told the Free Press that Damschroder held back as many as 2000 machines and dispersed many of the other machines to affluent suburbs in Franklin County.
