Why the state is significant:

  • The Buckeye state is a known as one of the most important swing states every presidential election cycle. It’s demographics, geography and political leanings make it something of a microcosm of the rest of the country.
  • It’s also a bellwether: Ohio has correctly picked the winner of the presidential race in all but two elections since 1904.
  • Fast facts:

  • Ohio is sometimes referred to as the “Mother of Presidents” or the “Cradle of Presidents” because seven past presidents claim the Buckeye State as their birthplace.
  • Cleveland, Ohio is the host city for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
