Ohio has many voters who depend on the ACA and expanded Medicaid...we have an older workforce which impacts our businesses if we lose pre-existing conditions.

5. I cannot understand how any older voter could vote Trump regardless of the state they live in

He called older "nobodies" in relation to Covid-19. The Lincoln Project already had an ad out on this, and I hope it is playing in OH, FL, and AZ, etc.

Ohio is a curious state for the Ds. The last D to win the Presidency but NOT win OH was JFK, from what I can tell.

It's a bellwether state for D Presidential candidates.

in the number of Trump signs over 2016. They don't just have one normal yard sign, they have multiple and many make their own and fill their front yards with "pithy" sayings. One guy actually risked his neck climbing the telephone pole in front of his house to mount a huge Trump flag. Lots of Trump flags also flying on the back of pickup trucks.

If I had to judge just from our area I would have said Trump's way ahead. Relieved to learn that isn't the case.

Ken Blackwell was OH's Secretary of State and also held a high-ranking position in W's campaign. That should have disqualified him immediately from overseeing that election.

Much like Katherine Harris in FL in 2000, Kemp in GA in 2018 etc etc.
