Winning the populous states has the potential to give Biden a nearly unassailable lead over Sanders, his only viable rival and a democratic socialist.<\/p>\n<p>They are vying for the partys nomination to face Republican President Donald Trump in Novembers election.<\/p>\n<p>Ohios Republican governor, Mike DeWine, in calling for a delay, said at-risk populations would be unable to vote. Two Ohio voters over the age of 65 filed the lawsuit seeking the delay and DeWine said the state would not oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not force them to make this choice\u2014a choice between their health and their constitutional duties as American citizens,\u201d DeWine, who lacks the power to unilaterally delay the primary, told a news conference.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended cancellation of gatherings of 50 or more people over the next eight weeks. U.S. task-force guidelines on Monday discouraged social gatherings of more than 10 people.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio will continue to collect absentee ballots and hopes to hold the primary on June 2.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia, Louisiana and Kentucky have postponed primaries that had been set for March 24, April 4 and May 19, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2>Early Voting Surge<\/h2>\n<p>Illinois state board of elections said much of the voting for the state primary already had been done, with 504,000 early votes cast and 294,000 ballots mailed in as of Monday\u2014a substantial increase from the day before the 2016 primary, when those numbers were 400,000 and 160,000 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Dietrich, a spokesman for the board, said: \u201cAt this point, there is no date in the foreseeable future whe<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/coronavirus-leads-ohio-to-delay-election-despite-judges-refusal_3274818.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ninebyninedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/download.png\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Epoch Times<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON\u2014Ohio will postpone its presidential nominating election planned for Tuesday, despite a ju..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142687,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
