"Surging Early Voting and High Turnout Expected in Ohio's August Special Election"
Early voting in Ohio for the Aug. 8 election is surpassing expectations, with over 578,000 Ohioans having already voted on Issue 1, a proposed ballot measure that would make it harder to amend the state constitution. Turnout continues to increase, with over 223,000 votes cast this week alone. Saturday and Sunday are the last days for early in-person voting, with extended hours available. Some counties are still short on poll workers, but officials believe they will be able to properly staff the polls for a fair and secure election.
