I know about the Polish-Americans there. I did not mention them because NY will go for Harris anyway. I was thinking of states that are not blue.

Ohio is not expected to go blue, but, between the women who want Roe back and the Polish Americans in cities like Cleveland, there might be a very slim chance of winning Ohio.

My home town is Erie, PA. When I was growing up there, Erie had a number of ethnic groups but the largest were Italians on the west side and Polish on the east side. PA is a swing state, but I did not mention the Polish American population of Erie because Harris already covered that when she referenced the large Polish American population in PA.
