They knew (as we did) that Ohio would be the most critical swing state for their republican candidate whoever it was going to be.

with a republican sec of state counting the votes, purging Dem votes....purposely creating long lines in Dem areas to keep frustrated Dems from voting, cutting down early voting days all the usual republican Sec. of State sleazy tactics....and Romney son's company has 39 easily hackable electronic voting machines that will flip the vote it's going to be rough or near impossible....the republican SoS certifies the votes and he can easily make sure Romney win the state.

In 2008 there was a Democratic Sec of state in Ohio and there was none of these problems and Obama won easily.....

There's also a republican Sec of state in Florida, Colorado, and Wisconsin....It's going to be tough on Obama he has to win big it it's tight much easier for the Republican SoS to steal the state and electoral votes.

So their votes may be underrepresented in the early vote tallies.
