32. Lake County

Sep 2020

In 2004 Kerry got 59K votes. In 2008 Obama got 60K votes and won the county. In 2012 Obama got 58K votes. In 2016 Clinton got 46K votes.

Compared to 2012, turn dropped about 4K and 3rd party voting increases by 4K. Trump’s numbers were not significantly better than any of other Republicans.

Too many Democrats stayed home or voted third party. We can’t see a repeat. Biden needs to get over 60K in Lake County to have a chance in Ohio
