Voted in Central Ohio about an hour ago. Poll workers outnumbered the people voting, but it was like that in 2018 and 2020.
This is a Republican county, but a Karen precinct.
No one asked me to dip my mask to check my ID photo against my face and I was wearing sunglasses, which I did not realize until I couldn’t read the voting screen. The large room where voting took place was very bright and it is very sunny outside.
The place was just as empty four hours ago per reports from my housemate, who voted then. It was not much different around 7am when I drove back from McDonald’s.
I’m going out on errands in a little bit and will drive by it again to compare it so past years as I voted around 5:30 to 6 in the past.
My S.O. up in an Akron suburb was in and out as well.
That was my experience in N.E. Ohio as well. Has me worried that turnout isn’t what we need it to be in Ohio.
