Anyone want to make any predictions? ;)If it were just based on Columbus, I think Issue 2 would pass. But I've been monitoring papers around the state, and in other cities, editorials were largely opposed to 2, and the general tenor is "who the heck did we think we were to think we could override the rest of the state as far as location" and a lot of anti-Columbus sentiment stating we thought we were better than everyone else. So I'm personally hoping that 2 will fail, but really don't know which way it will go. Interestingly enough, the Cleveland casino is having a lot of problems with the chosen location, too (which is a lot of the reason their casino opening has been pushed back to 2013).
Watching the results closely all night, and ready for the next step either way (want to be involved with revitalization efforts whether they are in concert with or independent of a casino), and am willing to volunteer my time to helping make it happen).

Interesting that Republicans out-did Democrats in absentee ballots in Franklin County.
What were those numbers in 08? 06?

What were those numbers in 08? 06?Until today (when I chose a Libertarian ballot), I was registered as Republican (so I could vote for the one Libertarian turned Republican in the last presidential primary), even though I've supported primarily Democrat candidates and have voted for nothing but Democrats for president since being old enough to vote in 1992. So I don't think what people are registered as necessarily reflect where their politics stand - a lot of independents will choose one ballot or another and like me, be too lazy to change them back for an off-year election.
I've voted (in-person) absentee once, when I worked the polls and knew it wouldn't be at my normal precinct. In training, they didn't specify which party used absentee more often or anything else related to trends. The registration book does tell you who requests an absentee ballot, though - I was working a predominately Democratic precinct, and there weren't that many (this was during the presidential election).

Thought issue two passed then saw how few counties had given results. Way too early to tell at this point.
saw at the the top 2.95%
Until there is a MUCH higher percentage this is a "War of the Worlds" post with Walker playing the role of a svelte Orson Welles.
