Summary
Counties in Ohio are experiencing increased early voting participation ahead of the upcoming election. While Democratic strongholds are breaking previous early voting records, the counties that supported former President Donald Trump in 2020 are leading in the number of ballots returned.
Data from early voting indicates that approximately 850,000 Ohioans have cast their ballots thus far, with counties that Trump won contributing around 65% of these early votes. Notably, populous counties like Franklin, Cuyahoga, and Hamilton are seeing significant turnout, with Franklin County leading at about 77,000 ballots cast. Despite the strong early voting numbers from Democratic areas, experts caution that increased early voting does not necessarily correlate with higher overall participation, as it may consist largely of habitual voters. As the election date approaches, both parties are mobilizing their bases to maximize turnout.
