Why Ohio Democrats nearly caught Republicans in primary election turnout

[RandySF]

Ohioans cast more Republican ballots during the primary election in May. But Democrats still came surprisingly close.

Newly updated state voter data helps illustrate the underlying reasons why.

In the May 5 primary election, 907,273 Ohioans requested Republican ballots while 815,922 requested Democratic ballots, according to the official count from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office.

This was a dramatic change from the 2022 primary election, when Ohioans cast roughly 1.1 million Republican ballots, double the roughly 540,000 ballots that Democrats cast that year.
