But Peter Brown at Quinnipiac, the NY Times and CBS says there will be record Democrat turnout in Ohio.

I am sure if the liberal media was polling this county, they would be sampling + 7 for the Democrats.

Much of the early action is in Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) counties. In Hamilton, absentee ballot requests are running ahead of the 2008 pace by 3 to 1, according to Board of Elections director Amy Searcy. As of this morning, her office had received 58,727 requests. Of those, 9,453 were from voters who requested Democratic ballots in primaries this year, and 17,824 from voters seeking Republican ballots. The rest were nonpartisan. The nearly 2 to 1 partisan split mirrors current registration in the county, which is about 98,000 Republican and 45,000 Democratic. ...

What I find interesting is that about 31,000 of the requests were nonpartisan, which is more than the combined totals for the Dems and Reps. Obama won Hamilton 225,000 to 195,000 and Cuyahoga 458,000 to 200,000. Obama won Ohio by about 227,000 votes.

This is why the Dems are panicking and releasing these bogus polls. They hope that it will keep Republicans at home. Dems are NOT enthusiastic about Obama, that is why Obama is going on Letterman and The View, he considers that to be more important because he needs to energize his base. He can’t even get his looney base to the polls. Who watches Letterman..Liberals..who watches The View..liberals..if Obama had this election in the bag he wouldn’t bother going on these shows, he needs to go on them badly to energize his own whack job base

ALL of this info should remain "unknown" TO EVERYONE....It's a form of voter manipulation.

We assume they're telling the truth...but who knows...maybe there's a pile of 10,000 votes...over there....that isn't in this tally.

Just a quick question....HOW do you know they are republican ballots?! I thought NO one was suppose to know the party or name of the person who mails in their ballot. Just a question, please clarify for me cause right now I’m skeptical about everything being reported out there...Thanks!

-——Much of the early action is in Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) counties.-——

The action in Cuyahoga County is not good. It suggests that the Obama campaign is working with pro-Obama voters to get them to vote early and ensure that they get a high turnout. And this all flies under the radar while letting Obama make up for the lack of enthusiasm on his side.

Maybe you can drag a bunch of unenthusiastic voters to vote for you if you have a whole month to do so.

Surely it will be acceptable to vote by absentee as well as showing up at the polls as the Democrats have been doing for decades. When in Rome.....

WTH?

THIS:

“Of those, 9,453 were from voters who requested Democratic ballots in primaries this year, and 17,824 from voters seeking Republican ballots. The rest were nonpartisan.”

SAYS THE SAME AS THIS:

“The nearly 2 to 1 partisan split mirrors current registration in the county, which is about 98,000 Republican and 45,000 Democratic. ...”

RIGHT?

BUT, DOES THIS SAY THE SAME THING AND SINCE IT DOES NOT HOW IS IT TRUE OR DOES IT MAKE SENSE OR DOES IT NEED TO?

“There are a lot more people who identify as Democrats,” she said. “It’s all a snapshot.”

And how is it that the other day in polling Cayohouga Co came out so strong for obastard?

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?

Early voting just gives the corrupt election officials that much longer to destroy the ballots from likely Republican voters!

Is there a difference in the way early voting ballots are handled versus absentee ballots?

I thought absentee ballots only actually got counted if they could make a difference after the election day’s vote tally was completed. So if a candidate was up by 10,000 votes and there were 11,000 absentees ballots not opened, they wouldn’t be opened because it would be unlikely for them to go 90+% to the other guy.

So, are early vote ballots treated like that?

Maybe the Dems found a way to request Republican ballots so they can cast absentee votes for Obama in the names of Republicans, and when those Republicans show up to vote they’ll be turned away because the record shows they already voted for Obama by absentee.
