As midterm elections draw nearer, Ohio Democrats are trying to keep hopes of a “blue wave†alive, and they are encouraged by the most recent primary turnout. They’re also celebrating poll numbers showing them with an edge in the gubernatorial race.
The Democratic Party gained more than twice as many new and party-switching voters as did the Republican Party during Ohio’s 2018 primary elections, according to numbers released Thursday by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
Ohio does not require voters to register with a party in order to be affiliated; rather, a voter is considered to be affiliated with whichever party’s primary he or she chooses to vote in, The Associated Press reported.

Sounds great till you realize you're working with really tiny numbers.
