Secretary of State, and U.S. Senate candidate, Frank LaRose pushes rivals to put $1 million behind effort to make amending Ohio’s constitution harder
A total of 255,305 people voted early in-person through last Friday — the most recent absentee report posted. For context, that’s about 118,000 more than all the early in-person votes cast during last year’s primary election. It’s also not far behind the in-person totals through a similar point in last year’s general election.
So far, voters have turned in 134,721 absentee ballots either in the mail, in-person or via dropboxes. That’s more than double the amount returned by a week out in last May’s primary.Secretary of State Frank LaRose has spent the months crisscrossing the state campaigning for Issue 1.
LaRose, of course, is running for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, and in the previous contest, Trump’s endorsement was critical to winning it. But in the more immediate term, LaRose’s outspoken advocacy for Issue 1 means his political prospects are closely tied to its success or failure. And those gangbusters early vote figures are leaving many Republicans feeling nervous., and an odd-year August special election is about as small as it gets.
