The right wing GOPers gerrymandered the state and got very skilled at choking voting locations in Ohio.

Each county in Ohio gets 1 early voting location.
(2020 data)

Franklin Co/Columbus has nearly 860,000 registered voters.

Columbiana Co/East Palestine- where that train derailment was almost 2 yrs ago- has 64,000 & they get one early voting location, just like the more populated counties.

Harris will not win Ohio. Early vote, which historically trends Democratic, is counted first there. Self Esteem Nov 2024 #15
