On Government Reform: Not healthy when people think election system isn't working

When we do mail ballots we have verification. I think Ohio sets a very high bar. And that's what we're used to dealing with in the state of Ohio. And I think, frankly, that should be the bar across the country. I'm not saying other states don't do it well. But I'm saying we have to restore confidence in the people in this process. You can go through and talk about why we have this. The reality is, it's not healthy in our system for that many people to think the system's not working.

On Principles & Values: Protests against me protected by First Amendment

The only thing that I've asked our protests to do is to observe social distancing. We're all big believers in the First Amendment. They were protesting against me yesterday, and that's just fine. They have every right to do that.

On Abortion: Deflects questions about abortion during pandemic

The issue has become a political hot potato as DeWine and Attorney General David Yost seem to have conflicting views on whose role it is to settle the issue. When Health Director Amy Acton was asked about abortions, DeWine interjected and said the issue was being addressed by "lawyers" and Yost's office. Earlier, Yost's office said whether clinics are in violation of Acton's order will be decided by the health department and, if so, the attorney general would then take legal action.

On Families & Children: Got waiver to deliver school lunches to quarantined kids

Something very important for us, when we close the schools, we want to make sure that kids continue to get food. Department of Agriculture gave us a waiver within 24 hours, so we can actually take this food, this normal school lunch program, and take it out to kids, distribute it in different areas. Some school districts are actually going to take that out, put it on a bus, and travel around and distributing it. But we have had to get a waiver from the federal government.
