Marcia L. Fudge won the Akron 4-A precinct with 93.8 percent of the vote in the 2016 election, a margin of 406 votes.

In 2016, 54.2 percent of all registered voters in the precinct, 464 total voters, voted in the race for the district's representative in the U.S. House. Marcia L. Fudge received 93.8 percent of the total vote in the precinct. Recent registration data shows there has been a 5.5 percent increase in the number of registered voters with a total of 903 registered to vote. If the parties received the same percentage of the vote in 2020, Marcia L. Fudge would win by a margin of 429 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.
