Ohio 2006 Election Maps

[Joe Republic]

With thanks to the OH Sec. of State website (one of the few things I'm thankful to Ken Blackwell for), I'm going to make maps for each of the statewide elections in November 2006.

I'll start with a turnout map that I made myself, followed by the Governor and Senate maps taken from Dave Leip's database.

For all maps, an asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent.

Mary Taylor is now one of only two Republican statewide officeholders in Ohio

The Supreme Court is now 100% Republican.  I don't mean that in the jfern way; all seven justices are officially aligned with the GOP.

[Sibboleth]

Interesting results in the Ohio valley.

[Joe Republic]

If anybody wonders what happened to Issue 1, there were some ballot disputes or some such; I don't know much about it.  The issue itself was something to do with worker compensation or something.  Anyway...
