Slightly over 5.7 million people voted in Ohio in 2008. 29.7% voted early which is 1.7 early votes. Of that about 18% are walk in early votes...or about 306,000. As you can see from the tables on pages 18 to 20 the early voters were Democratic voters by 5 to 10% higher than those voting on election day. That is a huge difference.
I do appreciate the fact that you took the time to read the link and consider its contents. We need more of that around here |
Yeah you are right about that. Most do not even read...mind is made up even if not true
I really need to get more background but thanks.....this total subject of voting is something that everyone needs to get their arms around somehow. We do need tighter control but I would never want to suppress a vote, knowing that no matter what you do, someone will claim that.
My fear is...and a real one...I posted a thread recently on the illegal immigrants that have been released and the crime that they have committed. I KNOW they are making illegal inroads in lots of areas (see tax fraud in the billions for example) and we need to be wary !
But thanks....I will post something once I have some idea of what the hey I am reading !! Good subject
