As of mid-week, over 1 million Ohioans had requested absentee ballots for the November election. Election officials expect that many or more between now and the weekend before the Nov. 3 election.
It will be a record-breaking year for absentee balloting in Ohio, but Howard Wilkinson, WVXU's senior political analyst, told WVXU reporter Jay Hanselman that it shouldn't cause an Election Day logjam if voters follow a few simple rules.
One important correction: Wilkinson misspeaks in this audio. He says ballots must be postmarked Nov. 3; that is incorrect. They should be postmarked by be Nov. 2
