11. The #s in OH and across America make no sense to me

In OH we had 3.5 million votes already "in the bank" before election day because
of early voting* and to achieve the results we had would have needed > 70 to 75%
red voting on election day.

I worked doing election protection work in a blue precinct and we had incredible
turn out there. Now sadly I know that much of OH has become Alabama north
after years of hate talk radio, fox news, right wing "pastors" spreading their bile,
and generational deep seeded racism and ignorance but the idea that we had a drop
off in democratic voting** is laughable. My best GUESS is that "they" are padding the
rural vote somehow.

Remember Mitch McConnell has fought and won in stopping increased security for
our voting systems.

* my best guess is that the majority of those were blue votes

** some of the drop off in in person voting on election day might be because of all the early voting.
