We always win when we actually show up. You’d think we’d have showed up a bit more reliably before things got this bad. Now we have to show up like this. A lot. Because this ain’t over. It’s barely begun.

While the issue was rejected, it wasn’t by as much as the early (only 21% counted) NYT graphic indicated.
Here’s a more accurate map after 97% counted. Dems in the major cities came out, but not anywhere else.

You’re right.
It wasn't fair to say rural Dems didn’t come out, you did. What I was attempting to say, but failed, was that the final results were closer than the initial declarations of a Dem rout.
@SheriSwears Absentee/early voting ALWAYS favors Dems in Ohio. I'm not sure whether it's the same nationwide, but we know not to draw any conclusions until the Election Day votes start coming in.
Notably, none of the urban precincts had reported by the time USA Today, and later the AP, called Issue 1. Their call was based ONLY on the margins in the precincts that ultimately went "yes" or a close "no."
