Guess what, the ODP is blowing it in Cuyahoga County. Again.
You likely won't remember, but in 2010 this blog reported about the underwhelming turnout in Cuyahoga County and its effect on the Ohio governor's race.
Well, it's happening again.
Not too long ago, the Ohio Democratic Party showed their first sign of desperation in a tweet – calling out NE Ohio and begging for higher turnout.
@OHDems
Don't regret today! We need your help RIGHT NOW to boost turnout in NE Ohio and put Dems over the edge
Why the call out?
Because in-person voting in Cuyahoga was just at 23% at 5:00pm.
Let's look at the numbers.
Data from the Secretary of State showed 253,000 early votes already cast in Cuyahoga County.
23% of in-person voting using total registered Cuyahoga County voters from 2008 would be 255,595 votes for a total of around 508,000 votes.
In 2008, Cuyahoga ended up casting a little more than 678,000 votes.
That means that as of 5:00pm, Cuyahoga County is approximately 170,000 votes short of its 2008 total.
The best part? Reports are that suburban Cuyahoga is overperforming right now, so things may be even worse than these terrible numbers appear.
Ohio Democrat Party Chairman Chris Redfern. You blew it.
