HamCo Early Vote Data Is Postivie for Democrats

HamCo Ohio Early Vote Data thorugh 10/23/2026 compared Apples to Apples* with 2022 shows an overall increase of 23.53% with Dems outpacing Republicans Signifincantly: 

Data is from the Hamilton County BOE

This data is of course not conclusive of anything.  These are not vote totals, just the number of ballots cast. The data does indicate that Democratic voter enthusiasm is strong.  It could, empahsis on could, be a sign that Democratic voter turnout in HamCo is increased more than Republicans.  As I said before, this is not a certaintity.  There could be a shift in how Dems are voting and Republicans could still increase voting day turnout as well. Don't forget, this is only one county in Ohio, so this where is clearer news is for local races, espeically for the HamCo Commission race and the wide nubmer of Court positions on the ballot.

*Apples to Apples in this case means adding 1 additional full day of in person voting to the 2022 number to match the number of in person early voting days so far in 2026. This makes the increase smaller, but refelcts a better comparison as voting starting earlier in 2026, but ends 1 day eailer. No adjustment was made to the returned mail vote totals as the comparison is compatable.
