Ohio Early Voting: Romney Closes the Gap?

Ohio Early Voting: Romney Closes the Gap?

This information may be more substantive than anything in my previous "tea leaves" post, if it pans out.  Tweets from three sharp analysts, based on the available early voting data in Ohio:
 

By my calc, in '08, 24.8% of registered voters in Obama's OH counties voted early, 19.1% in McCain. Today, 21.7% Obama and 21.3% McCain

Overall, early vote turnout OH up 2.44% in state. Down -4.1% in Obama/Kerry counties; up 14.39% in Bush/McCain counties.
