A lot of R counties are up big-time in absentee ballot requests. The margin is more than cut in half from last time. (I think the total figure is 100+ k so far, but it's really hard to figure out since the party registration is not for this election but the last primary that a person voted in)
Re: Ohio Obama Counties in 2008
Another interesting article. I was heartened by the fact that Tuscarawas has always voted for the winner since 1992. That's big-time Romney country this time. McCain barely lost it (1,000 margin).

NPR ran a piece a few weeks back about how Wood County has picked all but one winner since 1960 (wrong in '76).
Wood is my home county and I was surprised it went blue in '08. No idea how it's looking now though, I'm out of state.
