He is wrong on Cuyahoga, I think he might be confusing it with some other county or comparing some wrong numbers.
Board of election released the numbers and Cuyahoga is down in both mail and in person early vote.

"Early voting was down across the board in Cuyahoga County. Early in-person voting was down about 16 percent countywide compared to 2012 and about 14 percent fewer ballots were mailed in. In total, 218,711 early votes were cast, down from 253,512 at the same point in 2012."
