Voter registration in Ohio closed yesterday and Jennifer Brunner, Ohio's Secretary of State, released a new
registered voter file compiled at 8:19pm last night.
A quick review shows that there are now 8,162,815 voters registered in Ohio, up 100,000 from two weeks ago.
This
is up 183,185 voters compared to the 2004 Bush/Gore election, with the
majority of the increase coming from counties that went for Bush in
2004. In comparison, the registered voter count increased by
almost 450,000 from 2000 to 2004, with the vast majority coming in the
Gore counties.
