Its official: primary turnout a record
It’s official: turnout in Ohio’s March 4 presidential primary was a record, according to the official canvas released by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner on Friday, May 9.
The canvas showed that 3,603,523 of Ohio’s 7.826 million registered voters cast ballots for a record 46.06 percent turnout for a primary, Brunner (pictured) said in a press release.
“While primary elections are for nominating political party candidates, we can view the March 4 record turnout as a good predictor for a November turnout that may clear the 80 percent mark,” said Brunner. “We will be ready for that level of participation in the Nov. 4 election and look forward to it with great anticipation.”

It looks like we all did a great job getting out the vote but it looks like there are still many voters out there that don’t see to care. I’ll bet we all know one or two ourselves. How about we work on them, it’s much to easy to vote then not vote. We can make Ohio the most important state in the union and really have a voice in how our country is run.
