OH Absentee Update: Stunning numbers

Ok, I finally got around to comparing the total shortfall by both Ds and Rs from 2008 to 2012 in those counties reporting 2008 data. (Most which haven't are not big pop, key counties, so their inclusion probably wouldn't change the ratios much). First, total absentee requests in OH fell from 2008. Second, two counties, Montgomery (mine) and Cuyahoga, actually GAINED R absentees over 08. Third, the data is as of close of business yesterday.

Total D dropoff from 2008: 224,550

Total R dropoff: 49,270

Total NET D dropoff: 175,280

Obama won OH by 250,000 votes.
