The early voting in Ohio was record-breaking, as it was in many parts of the US. More than 100.5 million people voted early, which includes absentee ballots and in-person voting. In Ohio, 3,411,463 people voted early, far outpacing 2016’s 1,798,277. The 2020 total represents nearly 62% of the ALL votes in 2016, a huge turnout. The state is now expecting full turnout to exceed 75% of registered voters, something that hasn’t happened since 1992’s record 77% turnout. Could this election exceed even that record? It’s certainly possible.
