    Correct. It's like the Doug Jones race. If the republican wasn't kobach and denounced / ran against any ties to Brownback I bet they win.

    There are really three different parts of Ohio demographically.

    Rural areas are overwhelmingly white, noneducated and Republican. Western and NW Ohio are like Iowa, Indiana, and Central Illinois. SE Ohio is like WV and KY. Trump won Ohio’s smallest 79 counties by 800,000, nearly 2-1.

    The Rust Belt cities are dying. Youngstown is dead. Toledo (glass/auto) Akron (rubber/auto) and Dayton (auto) are dying. Cleveland is struggling, but is big enough to move post-industrial. Overall, however, it’s losing population.

    Columbus and Cincinnati are growing.

    Columbus is highly educated and has a white collar economy. It has sunbelt growth. It grew 47% since 1960, nearly doubling its size to 870,170. That is 14th nationally and the metro area is above 2 million.

    Cincinnati is older, but still growing. It is white coller—Proctor & Gamble, Kroger, 5/3 bank, two Fortune 500 insurers. The city itself is smaller, but it is Ohio’s biggest metro area. It saw 8-9% growth in each of the last three decades, about the national average.

    Franklin County (Columbus) went red in every presidential except 1964 from 1944-1992. It flipped blue in 1996 and is now 60% in the last three cycles.

    Hamilton County (Cincinnati) went red except 1964, from 1944-2004. It has been at 53% blue in the 2008-2016 elections. In 2018, however, Democrats swept county commission races and all non-incumbent judicial seats.

    The area where Ohio is growing is growing blue.

    Good thread on Ohio’s progression from purple to red, coinciding with its economic and educational deterioration, can be found here. I think it was already posted but is more appropriate with your contribution.

    Dayton is a STEM hub with a highly educated workforce due to WPAFB. I wouldn't say it's dying. The problem is the military aspect of the city makes it redder than it should be with the college educated demos.

    I will look into this but on its face it looks like Ohio is moving more right like MO/IN. Too much West Virginia/Kentucky in it culturally. If that werent the case then the Urban areas would have better stemmed the red tide on Tuesday.

    Every metro area is growing. Population is exponentially increasing. Thats why Dems are more clustered than ever and backed themselves into a gerrymandered corner politically. But Im not sure the growth rates of Ohio's urban areas are competitive nationally. Which is why Ohio will likely lose a Congressional seat. Ohio's population in total has only grown 1% this decade; whereas Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona have grown by 7+%. Ohio's relative lack of growth is symptomatic of what those series of tweets pointed out: an older, whiter, less educated electorate. Fwiw Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are all bottom 10 in growth rate too....but they for all their own unique reasons seem to have more favorable demographic situations for progressive causes.

    there is a finite time frame on how much longer the GOP can thread together this coalition. White non-college vote has a shelf-life.

    The 2018 statewide races were closer than every single set of statewide races since 1990 with the exception of 2006. Now, they should be in a blue wave year, but it’s not like this was a route.

    There were over 4.4 million votes in each statewide race. The D lost 4/5, but the margins in all four were less than 200,000.

    Wright Patterson does a huge amount of Air Force procurement contracts, so there is definitely a lot of high paying private sector work there for defense contractors.

    Overall, the city was rooted in the paper and auto industries though. Downtown Dayton is not a vibrant place.

    It was a tweet saying Kemp was approaching the 50% vote threshold that would force a runoff.

    Only if their economic situation gets worse. I think his core base is unreachable — it’s the suburban educated voter that is more likely to defect out of exhaustion, which showed up in most of the midterm elections.

    The tweet was in error. It was giving the numbers that would be needed to trigger a recount (not runoff, which would require about 1k more votes than the recount figure). It claimed:

    Kemp 50.023%
    Abrams 49.024%
    ^^^ Those are the numbers needed for the recount

    We're still at 50.3% for Kemp as far as I'm aware.
