Posted November 8, 200618 yr If anyone runs across the results by county for Ohio for the Senate and Governor races, please post them here. I would like to see how these races shake out geographically.
November 8, 200618 yr onn.com...it has an interactive map...... I would like to see the same results for issue 3....can't find THAT one though
November 8, 200618 yr Governor http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/OH/G/00/index.html Senate http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/OH/S/01/index.html
November 8, 200618 yr Wow, what a commanding victory for Strickland. Brown didn't do too shabby, either.
November 8, 200618 yr I guess the tin-foil-hats-steal-the-election-rigged-machine crowds can go home then

November 8, 200618 yr Wow, over 70% of Cuyahoga County voted for Strickland and Brown - I figured they'd do well but yeesh! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
November 8, 200618 yr WTF??? ... http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061108/NEWS01/311080011
November 8, 200618 yr The SOS site breaks everything down by county: http://www.sos.state.oh.us/Results/RaceSummary.aspx
November 8, 200618 yr Sadly, it looks like the county where I grew up--Mercer--has the unfortunate distinction of being the most conservative county in the state with with over 60% of voters supporting DeWine and Blackwell. :(
November 8, 200618 yr Wow, what a commanding victory for Strickland. Brown didn't do too shabby, either. Blackwell got clobbered in so many ways, but the bloodiest can be seen in CNN's breakdown of Republican votes: 20% for Strickland. Heckuva job Blac--er--nevermind.
November 8, 200618 yr Sadly, it looks like the county where I grew up--Mercer--has the unfortunate distinction of being the most conservative county in the state with with over 60% of voters supporting DeWine and Blackwell. :( Butler went 57% for Dewine, but only 51% for Blackwell, that tells you something about Blackwell.
November 8, 200618 yr Butler went 57% for Dewine, but only 51% for Blackwell, that tells you something about Blackwell. he's a piece of shit. and he's unemployeed.....hes so 5 minutes ago...its over. Next topic please!
November 8, 200618 yr Nice analyses there , C-Dawg....good job. Lucas & metro Toledo remains pretty solid with the Dems... Here are some maps from ONN (unoffficial results) and my commentary..... Senate: Definate division ..the Lake Erie Shore, Western Reserve, and Appalachian Ohio go Dem, while Western Ohio is GOP. But note that even in the deep rural Maumee Valley area Strickland won. Dayton and Springfield remain blue islands in red state Western Ohio.... For the true blue (or shall I say red?) GOP counties, the Governors Race. Cincinnati and vicinity confirms, once again, its reputation as a Republican Valhalla, and the soy and cornfields of West-Central Ohio alwyas yields a bumper crop of GOP votes.... (but how about Preble County?....) And then the Congresscritters....the GOP gerrymander firewall holds..in what is a Dem wave elsewhere, Ohio stays GOP except for the inevitable loss of Neys seat....tho it looks like the challenges to Pryce and Schmidt did come somewhat close. Yet, how about Chabot doing as well as he did in what looks like a very urban district? (compare to Louisville, downriver, where the opposite result occured, but Louisville wasnt gerrymandered the way Cincinnati and Columbus are) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Now if i knew enough about computer mapping I could do a "purple state Ohio" map using the Sec State by-county results, so one could see intensity of support by county. Or if precinct maps exist one could get really granular and map results by precinct...these do exist for Montgomery County, but in tabular form..don't have any precinct maps.
November 9, 200618 yr I'm curious on how Cincinnati voted? P.S. CDawg, DeWine had 50% of Hamilton County.
November 9, 200618 yr I just put this together...it's the R vs. D breakdown of the State House of Representatives by district. Not sure it adds anything to the discussion, but I thought it was interesting, and I spent enough damn time on it that I figured I'd post it...
November 9, 200618 yr Sweet! Way to go, Firelands! Erie County: 67% Strickland 64% Brown *Erie County also voted for Marcy Kaptur (D-Toledo) at 70%. And we still have Chris Redfern (D-Catawba Island) as our State House representative. Huron County: 57% Strickland 54% Brown *Also note Huron County's State House (58th) will be served by Matt Barrett (D-Amherst) and State Senate (13th) will be served by Sue Morano (D-Lorain). Both of these districts were represented by republicans for a long time. Although Paul Gillmor (R-Old Fort) is still the 5th US House representative.

Not sure it adds anything to the discussion, but I thought it was interesting, and I spent enough damn time on it that I figured I'd post it... Two things I notice: Does greater Cleveland on the east side tend to lean more Republican? & What the hell is up with southern OH directly in the middle?
November 9, 200618 yr What the hell is up with southern OH directly in the middle? Well, keep in mind all of that is just one district. It looks awfully stark when you (er...when I) limit the output to blue or red. And also remember that the right candidate (or the wrong opponent) can impact any election. Todd Book is a two-term incumbent, and is the Assistant Minority Leader, which makes him one of the highest-ranking elected Democrats in the state. And he was running against Tim Knauff, who lost a county commissioner race in 2004.
November 9, 200618 yr Two things I notice: Does greater Cleveland on the east side tend to lean more Republican? & What the hell is up with southern OH directly in the middle? I've always thought Geauga county was a "toss up" and that Mahoning and Columbiana are traditionally republican. I'm surprised that southeastern portion of the county went republican.
November 9, 200618 yr That map is great, RiverViewer. Everyone print out a copy ... when we compare the state legislature map to the Brown and Strickland maps, we get a real good idea of where we need to be putting our pre-2010 efforts. Start saving your pennies folks - it's time to take the General Assembly.
November 9, 200618 yr BTW, the map I found here: http://www.lsc.state.oh.us/guidebook/appendixc.pdf ...and the election results page has moved to here: http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/ElectionsVoter/electionResults.aspx
November 9, 200618 yr I've always thought Geauga county was a "toss up" and that Mahoning and Columbiana are traditionally republican. Mahoning is certainly not Republican (and not Cleveland). That's Youngstown's core county and it is small, urban, and HEAVILY Democratic. It's normally right up there with Cleveland's Cuyahoga County and Toledo's Lucas County. Actually, Mahoning voted 76% for Strickland and 73% for Brown this election! So basically, it was the most Democratic of all of Ohio's core metro counties, large and small. Thanks for setting me straight. I was thinking of the amish, counties.
November 9, 200618 yr I just put this together...it's the R vs. D breakdown of the State House of Representatives by district. Not sure it adds anything to the discussion, but I thought it was interesting, and I spent enough damn time on it that I figured I'd post it... Wow..yeah, thanks for that! You can really tell the urban/suburban divide with some of these districts, and notice the rustbelt small city Ohio pops out blue...Mansfield, the Portsmouth area, Steubenville, Zanesville(I think?)... Some interesting things going on on that map...particularly Akron and Summit County... This is almost as good as a precinct map for getting into the weeds on political geography, as these districts are fairly small.
November 10, 200618 yr Yay, election maps! I'm working on a few "purple" maps... we'll see if they show anything interesting.
November 10, 200618 yr Continually interested in how well voters navigated Issues 4 and 5. Not a single county passed Issue 4 AND defeated Issue 5. The race came down to counties that favored Issue 5 and disfavored Issue 4 (72 counties) and those counties that disfavored both issues (16). I was also interested to see that counties that were against both measures tended NOT to be directly bordering another state; of the 16 counties that voted against both 4 and 5, only 2 bordered Indiana (Paulding and Preble) and 2 bordered Kentucky (Adams and Brown). Greatest support for Issue 5: Delaware Co., 69.0% Least support for Issue 5: Brown Co., 40.1% Greatest support for Issue 4: Lawrence Co., 49.5% Least support for Issue 4: Greene Co., 28.2% The 3 Cs (well, their respective counties) Franklin County: 64.1% FOR Issue 5, 34.9% FOR Issue 4 Cuyahoga County: 61.8% FOR Issue 5, 35.7% FOR Issue 4 Hamilton County: 60.7% FOR Issue 5, 35.8% FOR Issue 4
November 10, 200618 yr lets not forget that blackwell is from cincy so naturally he would have more support there. if he wasnt from cincy, i bet hamilton county would have went dem. for governor.
November 11, 200618 yr Purplicious! Here are three maps; I'm also going to do one for the Ohio House, and then (once I figure out how) make some kind of composite of all four.
November 11, 200618 yr In the maps with all the purple shading...I thought it was interesting that the Trumbull County area (where I grew up) was the only area/district that was solid blue (bright) and strongly dem in every map. From my knowledge, I don't think there has ever been a republican win that area. One thing I always thought was odd about Trumbull (District 17) was how conservative it was on SOCIAL issues (abortion, child-raising...etc) but because of the strong manufacturing and labor union influence, it has always gone dem, with the exception of a few local elected officials.
November 11, 200618 yr If ever there were a case for "purple maps" it's direct-vote elections such as midterms; presidential election purple maps are just placebo pain killers for battered Democrats.
November 11, 200618 yr Good job on those maps, Pigboy! Thanks a bunch for posting them. Holmes County sure shows up on these....the Amish vote?
November 12, 200618 yr The Amish can vote, but my understanding was that many of them did not. Of course, that makes them basically no different from any other group, I guess!
November 12, 200618 yr Here's the one for the Ohio House. The brightest ones are unopposed candidates. As soon as I've messed around with Photoshop to figure out how to do it the way I want, I'll post the aforementioned composite map of several races.
November 15, 200618 yr Okay, figured out how to do the composite I wanted (in a strange and roundabout way). This map is the average red value and average blue value from the other four maps of U.S. House, U.S. Senate, Ohio House, and Governor. Nothing too remarkable about this, it seems, but it's still somewhat interesting.
November 15, 200618 yr Wow - this was pretty involved! How many Ohio House District / County combinations are there? Between districts that cover parts of multiple counties, and counties that incorporate multiple districts, you must have what, 150ish unique areas covered here?
November 15, 200618 yr Wow - this was pretty involved! How many Ohio House District / County combinations are there? Between districts that cover parts of multiple counties, and counties that incorporate multiple districts, you must have what, 150ish unique areas covered here? Good question! I don't know how many there are because I merged them pixel-by-pixel (don't worry, not manually), but yeah, there must be a lot. One of the things that's interesting to me is to see which areas seem to show up most clearly- in most places it seems to be the Ohio House districts, I guess because they are smaller and more varied, but in some places the county boundaries still stand out. It's hard to pick out the US House district boundaries at all in most places. I just noticed something suspicious on this map. Three solid blue districts in NE Ohio are showing up here much more red than they ought to be. Better check my methods...
