In summary, for the first 12 early voting days in 2012 there were 17,756 votes cast in-person, vs. 31,160 this time, a 75% increase. While there are three fewer early voting days in 2016 compared to 2012, the voting rate is on track to blow through the 2012 total.
In 2012 there were a total of 69,112 in-person early votes cast in the county. The total this time could exceed 100,000, which would be a 45% increase, not stretch given that the increase so far is 70%.
The Hillary for Ohio GOTV effort is hitting on all cylinders.
