It’s On: Early Voting Is Underway and the Dems’ Bus Rolls In

Sojourner’s Truth Staff

Early Voting started in Ohio on October 10, 2018 and hundreds of voters went early to the Lucas County Early Polling site, at 1301 Monroe Street, and then celebrated the opening of the season outside the polls. Lending their voices to the celebration were Democratic candidates who rolled into town on the “People First” campaign bus.

The Movement was there – Tina Butts’ organization, the local arm of the Ohio Democratic Party, focused on driving up the local minority vote – playing music and making sure that volunteers were signed up to help get people to the polls.

Arriving on the bus were statewide candidates – Zack Space for Auditor and Rob Richardson for Treasurer – accompanied by U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and J. Michael Galbraith, candidate for U.S. Congressional District 05 seat – currently held by Republican Bob Latta.
 

Also arriving were Jeanine Donaldson, candidate for the Ohio Board of Education; Lindsay Webb, Lucas County Treasurer; Gary Byers, candidate for Lucas County Commissioner, Joe McNamara, candidate for judge; Paula Hicks-Hudson, candidate for Ohio House seat District 44, Teresa Fedor, candidate for Ohio Senate District 11 and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper, who served as the master of ceremonies for the speeches that followed the arrival.

The early voting center was busy all day as early birds took advantage of the opportunity to get their voices heard on Day One. As is her custom, Councilwoman Yvonne Harper was the first to vote on Day One. She arrived at the polling site at about 5:30 a.m. and waited for the doors to open.

Early voting continues until Election Day. The schedule is 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, from October 10 to October 26; 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday, October 29 to November 2; 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Saturday, October 27 and November 3; 1 to 4 pm, Sunday November 4 and 8:am to 2 pm, Monday, November 5.
