OH: Thousands cast early voting ballots in Cuyahoga Co. for Aug. 8 Special Election

[RandySF]

According to the latest numbers from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, more people have cast early ballots for the Aug. 8 Special Election in one week than the entire early voting period last year.

So far this week, more than 3,500 people have voted. In comparison, 3,094 people cast ballots during the entire early voting period for last year's August Special Election.

Last year's August Special Election, held on Aug. 2, 2022, was a primary election for voters to select Republican and Democratic candidates for a number of state senator and state representative races across Ohio.

This year, there's just one item on the ballot — Issue 1, which would increase the votes needed to make a change to the state Constitution from a simple majority of 50% plus one vote to 60%.

5. Hubs and I will vote in Cleveland today...Vote NO. We will not allow the GOP

asshats to do this...it is a power grab and would leave Ohioans vulnerable to these crazies and with the gerrymander, it is hard to get rid of them. It is about abortion but not only about abortion.
