Here are the races dating back to Obama 2012 in Cuyahoga County, including turnout, split and statewide result. Gives an idea of the baseline Dems need to hit up in Cleveland to be competitive.
A note, I did not include Sherrod Brown's 2012 race nor Rob Portman's 2016 race since they came in presidential years. Included both Brown and DeWine in 2018 to give a sense of what the successful baseline is for both R and D in the state.
And props to @cuyahogaboe for giving me this website to constantly F5 throughout today. https://boe.cuyahogacounty.gov/en-US/livevoter.aspx
The other side of this coin is that if that number hits and its boosted by suburban votes, are those suburban Trump votes or suburban Biden votes. https://twitter.com/AndrewJTobias/status/1323738159872679937
