I tried to vote early last weekend but I couldn’t even find a place to park. If I did, the wait would have been at least an hour and a half.

Today, my polling place was busier than it’s been in the last several election cycles, in the mid-afternoon, well before the workday was over.

Coupled with the turnout in August, I’m cautiously optimistic. I hope this can prove that Ohio is not the red hell everyone thinks it’s becoming.
