Franklin Co., in 2008, was a 21-pt Obama advantage!!. For the GOP to have a 7,000 advantage in absentees at this point, I dunno, seems rather huge?

It's impressive. Better numbers in Franklin than in 2008 where Kasich lost the county by only 9%.

It's those unaffiliated voters I'm most concerned about.

Overall, there have been 734,000 absentee ballots requested state-wide.

Two years agao, Cuyahoga and Franklin counties accounted for more than half of the early vote.

So far, this year, only 32%.
