Ohio is a LIGHT RED state, because although Trump won in 2016 and in 2020, polls show Harris not that far behind. Harris has little chance of winning this state in 2024, but it’s not impossible.

Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
In Ohio, it is fairly safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He will almost certainly win this state anyway. And if he doesn’t, he will have already lost the election.
If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.
Vote Swapping
Are you willing help ensure that Trump does not get back into the White House by voting for a third-party candidate in exchange for someone in a purple state voting for Harris (instead of their preferred third-party candidate)? If you’d like to know more, click here.
As someone voting in a MARGINAL STATE, however, you may want to vote for Harris on the off-chance that she could actually win this state. In that case, you have the choice of swapping your vote with someone in a more solid red or blue state, where a vote for Jill Stein can help send a message to Kamala Harris that you want more urgent and serious attention given to the existential threats facing humanity and that she does not have a blank check to continue with business as usual.
In that case, you can choose to swap your vote as if you are voting in a PURPLE state, and swapping with someone in a RED or BLUE state:

Senate Race
Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown is facing a tough re-election battle against Republican Bernie Moreno. This is a must win seat for Democrats if they are to retain the Senate. So while Sherrod Brown is no progressive, his loss would likely mean a Republican Senate blocking any Harris legislation.
Therefore, in 2024, a vote for Sherrod Brown is a vote to survive!
House Races
There are currently no progressive candidates running for the US House of Representatives in this state.
