I’m not sure Ohio tracks voters by party registration.
Moreover, they have always had a system where they count absentee ballots on election night, removing the outer envelope (verifying, etc) and counting the ballot itself in the early hours of election night. I’d be gobsmacked if they had a boatload of uncounted ballots after the election.
Since 2012, Ohio has mailed a ballot request (not a live ballot) to anyone who requested one. So this isn’t their first rodeo.
I live in Minnesota. I have received numerous absentee ballot requests from various organizations.
I will go to City Hall this week and vote in person.
OH does track party registration. The kicker is that if you do not vote in the last election (inc. a primary) you are thrown into the “U” bin (unaffiliated). Well, in 2012 these threw me and some other OH observers because we thought they were independents. They aren’t. They are lazy R or D voters who don’t vote in the primary.
So after 2018 we ran a simulation assigning all U voters to either R or D based on last 20 years’ of that address’s voting history. The result was an R +300,000 net lead.
Trump will win OH by 8-9 points. DemoKKKrats are cannibalizing their ED voting and STILL falling short in both NC and FL, so no reason to think OH will be different.
