Jim Renacci won the Green 2-E precinct with 63.7 percent of the vote in the 2016 election, a margin of 156 votes.

In 2016, 68.8 percent of all registered voters in the precinct, 568 total voters, voted in the race for the district's representative in the U.S. House. Jim Renacci received 63.7 percent of the total vote in the precinct. Recent registration data shows there has been a 2.3 percent decrease in the number of registered voters with a total of 807 registered to vote. If the parties received the same percentage of the vote in 2020, Jim Renacci would win by a margin of 152 votes.

"I expect voter turnout to be exceptional, perhaps the highest in over a century, since 1908," said Michael McDonald, who directs the U.S. Elections Project. If those estimates are correct and the 65.7 percent participation rate remains the same, the voter turnout in the country would jump from 133 million up to 145 million people, according to the Brookings Institute.
