There's two more things that have changed in this election cycle for President.
1.)the state of Ohio has Republican Sec. of State in charge of the vote totals and Republican Governor to back him up..... instead of the Democrat Sec. of State and Governor in 2008.....and
2.)The Republican Sec. of State made sure that all the Ohio counties were sent a request for Absentee ballot form this election versus the Democrat party operatives only sending those absentee ballot request forms to highly democrat leaning or likely leaning counties like Cuyahoga and Franklin, Lorain, Lucas and Trumbull.
Now that the Rebuplican Sec. of State has made sure that the Republican leaning counties have an even chance to request those absentees it's translating into increases in Republican requests throughout the state.......and this is the caveat that the Democratic operatives within the state are hyperventilating over.......right now....they see the way the wind is blowing this time....and it's not in their direction.
Same w Floriduh, Viginia and Nevada.
Republican Secretary of State and Repub Governors
