The Toledo Blade reports:
A podcaster who promoted former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen 2020 election has failed to convince the Ohio Supreme Court to place her on the May 3 primary election ballot to become the state’s top elections official.
The high court unanimously on Friday found that Terpsehore P. Maras, of the podcast Tore Says, failed to strictly follow state election law when submitting candidate petitions for the Republican primary for secretary of state.
Ultimately, county boards of election certified just 556 valid signatures of registered voters. She needed 1,000.
The Daily Dot reports:
Maras hasn’t let a little thing like getting disqualified from the ballot stop her from running a campaign, however. On March 16, she posted on Facebook about a campaign event she planned to attend that evening, writing that she’s “running as a Republican on the May 3rd primary ballot for Ohio Secretary of State.”
She’s continued posting on her social media accounts about what she plans to do if elected and running her campaign’s Facebook page as if she’s on the ballot for Ohio Secretary of State. Her campaign website also appears to still be accepting donations.
Maras first appeared on JMG in December 2020 when Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell called her as a expert witness.
The Washington Post identified the witness by determining that portions of her affidavit match, sometimes verbatim, a blog post that the pro-Trump podcaster Terpsichore Maras-Lindeman published in November 2019.
In a recent civil fraud case, attorneys for the state of North Dakota said that Maras-Lindeman falsely claimed to be a medical doctor and to have both a PhD and an MBA.
They said she used multiple aliases and social security numbers and created exaggerated online résumés as part of what they called “a persistent effort to deceive others.”
Maras has 76,000 YouTube subscribers.
There are a lot of unconventional, pro-Trump candidates running for Secretary of State in November
But Terpsehore Maras a convicted grifter and QAnon influencer who thinks she can time travel, may be the most extreme of allhttps://t.co/029PaGH3VL
