Heavy voting on last day of early vote in Stark Co.

Plenty of machines, line moved quickly, and enough people in front of us that it still took 40 minutes.

1. Besides issue 1, what else in stark county is pulling voters in

Also, did it look young and female or more like a meeting of the NRA?

2. We have the usual odd-year local stuff

Mayor, council, school board, etc. I think issue 1 is driving some turnout, but not sure which way. Seems heavy for a normal local election year. Also feels like the momentum that defeated the issue in August has waned a bit. I hope not. We also have several Moms for Liberty school board candidates in our county probably bringing for and against crowds to the polls.

Looked like a representative crowd to me. Our county is purple leaning toward red, so it's hard to tell. I mean, if you saw my white, bearded, middle-aged self in line you would peg me for MAGA. I'm really just a pair of Oakley blades shy of the uniform.

Edited to add, we would have voted anyway but Issue 1 was on our minds when we decided to go today in case something unexpected happened Tuesday.

4. Not in my circles, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that. n/t
