DeWine forecasts Trump wins Ohio in 'close vote'

[RandySF]

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) predicted on Sunday that President Trump will win his state over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a “close vote.”

"I think the president wins Ohio,” DeWine said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think it's going to be a close vote. I think he wins by a couple points probably.”

The governor said he expects the winner of the state to be known on election night, noting Ohio’s early vote numbers will be ready to process and likely will come in before its Election Day votes.

“The first you’re gonna get are all the early votes,” he said. “They’re gonna come in probably before 8 o’clock, and you’re gonna see some big numbers there. And I think that will give us some indication on how Ohio’s going.”

9. nothing to suggest this and I place faith in people who work elections and count ballots over

naysayers and conspiracy hogs. I have worked too many elections as poll watcher and election judge to know folks take this seriously on both sides

12. although...

... I was posting here back in 2005 when I worked the recount for Cuyahoga county, prompted by my heroic rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Went down to the BoE every day, and I saw some of the evidence that convicted those board employees (counts "incorrect" at the bottom of ballot count pages). So I know it can happen, but ... I'm doubting it will happen this time. Different type of administration.

I hope.

14. Same here.

This is my fourth presidential election, one in a Republican stronghold.

All were consummate professionals, regardless of party affiliation - and dedicated to ensuring a fair and accurate vote.

6. If Trump only wins Ohio by a couple points, he's cooked.

7. of course he does.

10. Looks like it really is too close to call at this point.

What may matter in the end is if all those aging Trump voters are actually up to standing in line for hours and hours on Tuesday.

11. What else can he say? He can't say Trump's going to lose

Calling it a close vote is a hedge that tells you far more about what he thinks than his prediction.

13. The early votes get DeWorm.

That's my prediction.
