In 2016, Clinton won only 8 of Ohio's 88 counties. You read that correctly, she lost 80 counties. What really hurt her was the independent voters did not turn out.

Compare to 2020, independent voters are showing up en masse. A conservative estimate in Cuyahoga County is that 65% of independent voters cast a ballot for the democratic candidate. If that % holds true in this election, Cuyahoga County will deliver an additional 50,000-100,000 votes in favor of the democratic candidate. If the other urban areas of the state also have an increase independent turnout, Ohio will turn blue.
