The anticipated matchup between Republican incumbent Governor John Kasich and Democratic Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald was expected to be one of the most competitive gubernatorial races of 2014. Democrats also landed top-tier candidates for down- ballot statewide races; notably, state Senator Nina Turner and state Representative Connie Pillich launched bids for secretary of state and treasurer, respectively.1 Democrats were presented with fewer opportunities at the congressional and legislative level in 2014. The 2010 decennial redistricting process, which Republicans controlled, locked in safe districts for many Republican incumbents, leaving only a small number of competitive congressional and General Assembly districts.2 OH-14 and OH-06, represented by Republican incumbents David Joyce and Bill Johnson, respectively, are potentially competitive districts, but they did not attract significant competition in 2014. As a testament to the lack of competitive races in Ohio, 4.4 times as many broadcast TV ads aired in U.S. House races in the neighboring state of West Virginia, which has 13 fewer congressional seats.3 At the legislative level, a handful of state Senate races were targeted, notably SD-03, SD-05, and SD-13, where Republican incumbents Kevin Bacon, Bill Beagle and Gayle Manning were all running in districts that Obama carried in 2012.4 Going back to 2011, when labor and progressive groups successfully batted back SB 5, anti-public sector union legislation, Kasich emerged as one of the most unpopular governors in the country, and Ohio’s unemployment rate hovered above 8%.5 However, Democrats’ optimism was tempered by mid-summer 2014, as FitzGerald’s gubernatorial campaign foundered amid unflattering personal revelations, and Kasich was able to leverage Ohio’s improving economy to bolster his case for a second term.6 In the once-promising down-ballot statewide races, only Connie Pillich, running against incumbent Republican Josh Mandel in the race for state treasurer, went into Election Day within striking distance in the polls.7 On election night, the momentum that had been building against Democrats all year came to a head; Kasich and the full slate of Republican constitutional officeholders won re-election, with the incumbent governor defeating challenger Ed FitzGerald by more than thirty points, 64% to 33%. Of the statewide Democratic candidates, only Pillich won more than 40% of the vote, falling 43% to 57% to Mandel. Ohio’s U.S. House delegation remained static, with Republicans moving forward with a 12-4 partisan composition advantage in the 114th Congress. In the legislature, Republicans increased their majority in the state House from 60 to 65; included among the losing Democratic legislators was Chris Redfern, chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, who resigned from that position on election night.8 The partisan composition in the state Senate remained unchanged, 23 9 Republicans and 10 Democrats. 1 Sean Sullivan and Aaron Blake, “The Fix’s top 15 gubernatorial races of 2014,” Washington Post, November 15, 2013. 2 Griff Palmer and Michael Cooper, “How Maps Helped Republicans Keep an Edge in the House,” New York Times, December 14, 2012. 3 CMAG data, accessed November 5, 2014.

Below is total statewide voter registration by federal election cycle. Through Election Day, total registration in Ohio was 7,748,201.

TURNOUT ANALYSIS Historically, turnout in Ohio has exceeded the national average. The number of voters casting ballots in Ohio peaked with 2008’s presidential election, but it barely exceeded the voting-eligible population’s (VEP) turnout rate from 2004.11 In 2010, Democrats experienced a large drop-off among key demographic groups and in historically high-performing areas. Compared to 2008, turnout in the 2012 election fell by over two points.12 In 2014, according to initial numbers, VEP turnout in Ohio fell significantly from 2010 state numbers and dropped below the national average for this cycle. In 2010, with the closely contested gubernatorial matchup between incumbent Democrat Ted Strickland and John Kasich, VEP turnout in Ohio was 44.9%, a full four points above the national average. In 2014, without a competitive top- of-the-ticket race, turnout fell to 36.2%, just below the national average of 36.6%.13 Ohio VEP Turnout Since 2008 VEP Highest- VEP Turnout National VEP Year VEP Office Turnout Rate Turnout Rate 2008 8,513,079 5,698,260 66.9% 61.6% 2010 8,572,548 3,852,453 44.9% 40.9% 2012 8,648,932 5,580,822 64.5% 58.6% 2014* 8,700,170 3,150,000 36.2% 36.6% Difference from 2010 127,622 -702,453 -8.7% -4.3% Difference from 2012 51,238 -2,430,822 -28.3% -22.0% Sources: “Voter Turnout,” U.S. Elections Project, accessed November 5, 2014. * 2014 VEP turnout is a preliminary estimate from the U.S. Elections Project and should not be viewed as final.

  • Chairman's Report
    2014-2015 Chairman’s Report A Bi-annual report summarizing the organization’s activities in 2014 and 2015. “At the root of everything that we’re trying to accomplish is the belief that America has a mission. We are a nation of freedom, living under God, believing all citizens must have the opportunity to grow, create wealth, and build a better life for those who follow. If we live up to these moral values, we can keep the American dream alive for our children and our grandchildren, and America will remain mankind’s best hope” — Ronald Reagan 1 2 A Message From the Chairman... Dear Fellow Republicans, It is a great time to be a Republican in Cuyahoga County! 2014 was an exciting and busy year as we worked to re- elect our incumbent statewide candidates and further develop our voter engagement efforts with the creation of the Advocacy Council. While the work is constant, it builds a foundation for continued Republican success, such as the 70% of Republican endorsed candidates that were elected to local office in 2015. In 2014, Ohio Governor John Kasich won Cuyahoga County in his gubernatorial re-election; this was the first time Cuyahoga County voted Republican since Senator George Voinovich’s 2004 re-election to the U.S. Senate. Cuyahoga County was a regular campaign stop for many of our incumbent Republican officeholders, including a rally for Governor Kasich with U.S. Senator Rob Portman and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. In the end, winning Cuyahoga County was the icing on the cake for Governor Kasich who won a historic 86 out of 88 Ohio counties.

Schmitt and Chad Thompson submitted proposed ballot initiatives to the Portage County Board of Elections that would effectively decriminal- ize marijuana possession in the Ohio villages of Garrettsville and Windham. The Board declined to certify the proposed initiatives after concluding that the initiatives fell outside the scope of the municipali- ties’ legislative authority. Plaintiffs then brought this action asserting that the statutes governing Ohio’s municipal ballot-initiative process impose a prior restraint on their political speech, violating their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

  • Elections; Joint Operating Agreements JEL: L82, D72, K21, N82
    Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Research Department Staff Report 474 September 2012 Do Newspapers Matter? Short-Run and Long-Run Evidence from the Closure of The Cincinnati Post ∗ Sam Schulhofer-Wohl Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Miguel Garrido Edgeworth Economics ABSTRACT The Cincinnati Post published its last edition on New Year's Eve 2007, leaving the Cincinnati En- quirer as the only daily newspaper in the market. The next year, fewer candidates ran for municipal office in the Kentucky suburbs most reliant on the Post, incumbents became more likely to win re- election, and voter turnout and campaign spending fell. These changes happened even though the Enquirer at least temporarily increased its coverage of the Post's former strongholds. Voter turnout remained depressed through 2010, nearly three years after the Post closed, but the other effects diminished with time. We exploit a difference-in-differences strategy and the fact that the Post's closing date was fixed 30 years in advance to rule out some noncausal explanations for our results. Although our findings are statistically imprecise, they suggest that newspapers | even underdogs such as the Post, which had a circulation of just 27,000 when it closed | can have a substantial and measurable impact on public life.

  • Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio
    Chapter 8 Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Elections in Ohio Major and Minor Parties in Ohio Ohio has a very rich history of strong political parties. The Ohio Democratic Party is older than the Republican Party, having its origins in the foundingdistribute period of the state. Initially, a party known as the Federalists served as the main rival to the Dem- ocratic Party (or the Democratic or Jeffersonian Republicans,or as they were sometimes know). As the Federalist Party faded, the Whig Party emerged as the opponent of the Democrats.1 The Whigs were strong in the “Western Reserve” part of the state, which is the northeast corner of Ohio. The Whig Party held to strong abolitionist views and so served as the natural core for the emergence of Republican Party in Ohio in the 1850s. post, Beyond the Democrats and the Republicans, minor political parties have struggled to gain ballot access and sustain their legal status in Ohio. In the 2012 general election, no minor parties received even 1 percent of the vote, although the Libertarian Party presidential candidate came close, receiving .89 percent of the popular vote. Among thecopy, other minor parties, the Socialist Party presidential can- didate received .05 percent of the vote, while the Constitution Party received .15 percent and the Green Party received .33 percent. Even thoughnot third parties do not currently have much hope for winning the plurality of the vote necessary to actually be awarded an office in Ohio, they can affect a close election by siphoning off votes that might otherwise go to one of the majorDo party candidates.

INTRODUCTION Elections in Ohio are conducted by statute, not by litigation. Elections conducted by litigation invite special interest groups to intervene to plead for special benefits and pet causes. See, e.g., ODP Motion to Intervene, Doc. 25; LPO Motion to Intervene, Doc. 29; ORP Motion to Intervene, Doc. 32.1 But when elections are conducted by statute, one decision-making body makes one set of rules. And that is precisely what happened here: the Ohio General Assembly responded to a once-in-a-generation pandemic that shut down in-person voting for the 2020 presidential primary election.
