I voted early in Ohio today and I overheard the lady at the BOE tell
someone that the turnout for early voting was very high especially with this being an off-year election.

As many of you know, we in Ohio are voting for/against Issue 2 which seeks to strip unions of their right to collectively bargain. It's basically the same crap that Scott Walker is doing in Wisconsin.

Last I heard was that the majority of Ohioans are against issue 2 so it gives me hope that this issue will go down hard!

4. I'm going to!
In fact, I've been busy the last few days and forgot they had left a message on my phone. I'll call them back and tell them I'll be there to help.

5. I'll do my best.
I'd say so far it's looking pretty good. I'll post the final count when I know it.

7. The more votes, the better
Republicans have been working double time in the past six years or so (and they worked pretty hard before that) to suppress voter turnout. They're quite willing to forego a handful of their own votes if it means they can head off a bushel of votes against them. Republicans like voting, just not when other people do it.

8. I think Ohio finally figured it out: The GOP hates you. Glad to see them fighting back.
Fabulous!
