Ohio SoS Frank LaRose told me today that his office will be placing the Lucas County Board of Elections under administrative oversight.
Lucas County did not record a single result until just before 2 a.m. Wednesday.

Very proud of my colleagues on a truly chaotic election night. All hands were on deck late into the night. The eBlade edition was thorough and timely. Great photos, comprehensive coverage. Also, a busy night in sports. Well done @toledonews and @toledosports
An interesting one from last night: Toledo voters rejected a 0.25% income tax levy for public safety expenditures.
At the same time, voters approved a 6.9-mill property tax levy for Toledo Public Schools.
(Worth noting that some Toledo voters are not in TPS’ district).
If the public safety levy passed, it was expected to bring in $25 million per year.
Since it failed, the city will have to look at ways to cut down on drawing from its reserves.
The city has already floated layoffs & no police or fire class next year.

Lucas County officials are blaming Ohio's new mail-in voting laws for an absurdly long delay in reporting their election results. It was 1:45 a.m. when the first vote was reported.

Police have issued an all clear & voting has resumed at Beverly Elementary School.
The state has been notified that the polling location was forced to close for less than two hours.

It’s Election Day! If you are in Ohio, polling locations are open until 7:30 p.m.
If you live in Lucas County, here is a guide to what is on your ballot.
We will have results as they come in for @toledonews

A quick, non-election post for your timeline: this will be my last week reporting for @toledonews. Working for my hometown newspaper has been the most rewarding experience.
(this photo was taken in February, the last day I was physically in The Blade building).
Over the past two years, I worked with talented colleagues, met incredible people, and produced stories with meaningful impact. A huge thank you to my editors, co-workers, and those who always took my call or grabbed coffee with me.

With Election Day coming next week, be careful not to confuse percent with percentage point. A change from 10% to 13% is a rise of 3 percentage points. This is not equal to a 3% change; rather, it’s a 30% increase.

Last night, I joined Lindsey Reiser on CBS News 24/7 to discuss data centers and the Ohio governor's race.

Former Dem Gov. Dick Celeste is out knocking doors for David Fournier, a Dem candidate running for the seat currently held by Republican Josh Williams.
Celeste said he sees the state’s 44th House District as one that could flip blue next week.

Rural villages in Ohio can’t afford to build expensive new water treatment plants to comply with EPA standards, so they’re building pipelines to connect with their neighbors.
