DeWine re-elected, Vance wins

Mike DeWine is projected to win re-election in the race for Ohio governor. DeWine received more than 62 percent of the vote with more than 90 percent of precincts reporting, comfortably ahead of former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley. Republican JD Vance is taking Ohio's open seat in the U.S. Senate. Vance pulled in roughly 53 percent of the vote by the time the race was called, defeating Democrat Congressman Tim Ryan. Ryan conceded the election to Vance late last night. Ohio voters are showing overwhelming support for amendments to the state constitution, enacting new rules for judges when setting bail and modifying voter eligibility. Issue One requires judges in the state to choose bail amounts based on public safety factors, including an accused individual's criminal history and the seriousness of the offense. Issue Two prevents local governments from allowing individuals who are not U.S. citizens to participate in municipal elections. Both amendments garnered support from roughly 77 percent of voters.
