Voters in the key battleground state of Ohio will accept the results of the 2020 presidential election as legitimate, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said on Friday, days after President Trump said he would “see what happens” before committing to a peaceful transfer of power. However, he said Ohio residents have confidence in the state’s voting procedures. Large, massive numbers of Ohioans know they can trust their election result. When this thing is over, people will know it’s a true reflection of the will of the people of Ohio.”LaRose added that it would “look ridiculous” if a candidate opted not to accept the state’s election results. A Fox News poll released Thursday showed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a five-point lead over President Trump in Ohio.
