🕢 Today is Election Day in Ohio. Polls are open until 7:30 p.m., and anyone in line by 7:30 has the right to vote.

🪪 Ohio requires a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID. If there is a problem with your ID or registration, you may cast a provisional ballot.

✏️ If you make a mistake on your ballot, you may ask a poll worker for a new one.

🤚 Voters who need help because of a disability or difficulty reading may bring someone to assist them, as long as that person is not their employer or union representative.

⚖️ Ohio law also protects your right to take reasonable time off work to vote without being fired or threatened by your employer.

🛑 If you run into problems at the polls, contact the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) or your county board of elections. Polling locations are available at VoteOhio.gov.

Growing up in Toledo, news like this feels personal.

Some of my fondest memories include attending the Old West End Festival as a kid. Years later, my wife and I brought our own daughters when they were still in strollers, sharing with them the same sense of community, creativity, and neighborhood pride that has made the festival such a special tradition for generations of Toledo families.

The Old West End Festival has always been more than a neighborhood event. It is a celebration of community, diversity, history, art, music, and the unique people who make Toledo such a vibrant place to call home. It is a place where people from all backgrounds come together, connect with one another, and celebrate what we share as a community.

This weekend's violence is deeply concerning. My thoughts are with those who were injured, their families, and everyone affected by this tragedy. I am also grateful for the first responders, medical personnel, and law enforcement officers who acted quickly to protect others and provide care.

Moments like these remind us that a community is more than a place; it is the people who come together to support one another through difficult times. While this incident is troubling, it does not define the Old West End, the festival, or the city we love.

To those recovering, grieving, or struggling to make sense of what happened, please know that your community stands with you. Toledo has always been at its best when neighbors support neighbors, embrace diversity, and come together in the face of adversity. That spirit remains stronger than any single act of violence.

The first 24 hours after an accident matter more than you think.
What you do, and don’t do, on that first day can directly impact your case.

At Skeldon Law, here’s what we consistently see:

1️⃣Medical Documentation Matters: Even if injuries seem minor, getting checked creates a record that protects you.

2️⃣Evidence Disappears Quickly: Photos, witness details, and scene conditions can change within hours.

3️⃣Insurance companies start building their case immediately.

You don’t have to have everything figured out, but early decisions matter.

If something doesn’t feel right after an accident, trust that instinct. Skeldon Law is here to guide you, advise you, and help you understand your options.

Why Are Federal Courts Seeing More Habeas Corpus Petitions?

“Habeas corpus” is one of the oldest protections in our legal system. It allows a person to ask a court to review whether the government is lawfully detaining them.

In recent years, federal courts have seen a significant increase in habeas corpus petitions, particularly in immigration detention cases. That surge is beginning to affect how courts allocate time and resources, sometimes slowing other federal matters as judges address these urgent challenges to detention.

In our latest Skeldon Law Insights, we explain:
• What habeas corpus means
• Why these petitions are increasing
• How the surge is affecting federal courts
• Why it matters beyond immigration law
Understanding these legal trends helps shed light on how constitutional protections function in today’s federal court system.
