Ohio early voting sees low turnout ahead of May primary election

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Voters went to the polls Saturday to cast their ballots early at the Franklin County Board of Elections for the May primary.

So far, just over 150,000 Ohioans have voted early, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.

During last year’s presidential election, more than 2 million voters sent their ballots in early.

“What we are seeing is relatively low participation,” said Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose.

And the issues are so poorly written I don’t even know if it’s yes or no. My ballot will be hand delivered tomorrow. So depressing.
