Early Voting In Ohio Kicks Off With One Big Clue

Early voting has opened in Ohio and, while still early, doesn’t look particularly promising for Democrats.“It’s not gonna be quite presidential numbers, um, but I do think it will be stronger than last year,” Wood County Board of Elections Director Terry Burton said.He said election officials can confirm how many people truly voted after election season wraps up, compared with years past.“I think there’s going to be a really great turnout this year, and voters are going to be really engaged,” Warner said.Election data expert, Latinx adjacent doctor, posted some of the early voting data on X in Ohio and said Democrats should be worried.That is a measurable change in the makeup of the returns, though its significance remains unclear.The post supplies percentages but does not say how many ballots have been returned.Without ballot counts, a change in share cannot tell readers how many additional Democrats or Republicans returned ballots.It also cannot show whether either party has more returned ballots than at a comparable point in 2024.The post does not specify when its return figures were collected or last updated.
