In Ohio, Sen. George Voinovich (R) received more votes than Bush. In Hamilton County -- that includes the City of Cincinnati -- Todd Portune (D) received more votes than Bush. Both Voinovich and Portune are well-known incumbents (Portune is Hamilton County Commissioner) who get a good number of votes from Independents, but little from the faithful of the opposition party.
What's inexplicable is how a non-incumbent Democratic nominee for State Supreme Court manage to get more votes than Kerry in heavily-Republican Warren County. The judicial nominee is an African-American woman from Cleveland -- not exactly the kind of candidate who will trigger a stampede to her campaign headquarters among Warren County voters. THAT needs to be investigated.
