Ohio Dems Urge Voters to “Make It Count” by Voting Early, By
Mail or in Person
The Ohio Democratic Party
this week launched its “Make It Count” campaign with news
conferences across the state, digital ads, robocalls and a
new website -- MakeItCountOhio.com -- that will help Ohioans
cast their ballots
safely and securely in this fall’s election.
“As Donald Trump and his
online minions ramp up the misinformation and attacks on
voting, Ohio Democrats will be fighting back every step of
the way, whether it’s through litigation or voter
education,” said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David
Pepper. “That’s why we’re launching our biggest, most robust
early voting program ever with the Make It Count campaign.
What’s our message to voters? This election is too important
to wait until Election Day to take action. By requesting a
vote-by-mail ballot now or making a plan to vote in person
starting on Oct. 6, Ohioans will send a message that we will
not be deterred from participating in this election.”
Anyone who wants information
on voting early in Ohio, including requesting a vote-by-mail
application, can visit MakeItCountOhio.com.
According to a report from
late August, more than 400,000 Ohioans had already requested
vote-by-mail ballots for the 2020 general election -- “far
more than would be expected
in a typical presidential election.”
“We’re already seeing huge
interest in voting by mail, which is great, but we want to
make sure that voters know the facts and aren’t influenced
by misinformation,” said Pepper. “Voting by mail is safe and
secure, and we know that because it’s the option the
president chooses to cast his own ballot.”
