Jim O'Bryan drops of his election ballot in the drop box at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Wednesday, April 22, 2020, in Cleveland.

Every indication is that more Ohioans than ever will choose to vote by mail this November - in part, because of concerns over going to polling places in a pandemic.

Senior Political Analyst Howard Wilkinson spoke with News Director Maryanne Zeleznik about the early indications that absentee voting will be heavy this year - despite President Trump's unsubstantiated warnings that voting by mail leads to voter fraud.

Howard Wilkinson is in his 50th year of covering politics on the local, state and national levels.
