A super-close look at Ohio, the state that could decide it all
A similar early voting strategy is not just a luxury, it is in my opinion the most important ingredient for an Obama victory in Ohio this November. Democrats rely more than Republicans on blocs of voters, particularly those under 30 and minorities, who are less consistent about voting. Some of these voters cast ballots for the first time in 2008 and stayed home in 2010. Early vote gives Democrats weeks to repeatedly contact and make sure these voters show up, as opposed to just a single day.
