Ohio does not register voters by party, but most counties do release the breakdown of how registered voters voted in previous elections and apply that breakdown to current early voting totals. These numbers are in no way any guarantee of how voters will actually vote in 2020, but they do provide at least some context as to *who* is voting so far. So which party’s past voters are ahead in the counties?

And here is a map of the net change of Democratic and Republican early votes between 2016 and 2020. Again, although we can’t be sure who these people voted for, it does appear that Democrats have made broad gains across most of the state.
