Ohio Early Voting Stats
RECORD EARLY VOTING SO FAR
From Cleveland.com:
Ohio voters showed up in record numbers during the state’s first week of early voting, according to Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office.
The spike in early absentee voting comes as no surprise, given concerns about voting at polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.
During the first week of early voting, 193,021 Ohioans voted in-person at local boards of elections, according to a LaRose release. That’s more than triple the 64,321 Ohio voters who cast an in-person ballot at the same time in 2016.
We can DO this. Let’s get to work.
The Biden-Harris campaign has got an AMAZING site called BLUE VOTE. It has TONS of voting information on it. Go check it out!!
