Less than 2000 votes separated the winner from 2nd place. And we get to do this again with the same two people in November.
Almost 9.000.000 voting age people in Ohio. https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2016/comm/voting_age_population/cb16-tps44_voting_ohio-social.html Edit: I'm dumb
Oh! This was a Congressional district. So not a statewide race. Sorry. The coffee is slow to work this morning. https://www.census.gov/mycd/?st=39&cd=12 582.000 people over the age of 18. Still not great, but better. I can't find any stats right now on how many of those are actually registered to vote. TBH, I'm not too convinced that's a useful stat in this context anyways. More of a sanitizing one. "Participation rates go up once you only factor in people who at least minimally engaged with the system!"
