About 50 to 60 people – most of them clearly supporters of President Obama – were the first to file into the Hamilton County Board of Elections early this morning to cast the first ballots in Ohio’s early voting period.
Many of them had spent the night in tents and sleeping on lawn chairs on a night of off-and-on rain to be among the first in line.
The line of people stretched from the door of the board at 824 Broadway to the Hamilton County Family Courts building at 800 Broadway.
