Ohio Secretary of State certifies Nov. 8 general election results

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose on Friday certified the results of the Nov. 8 general election.

Among the results include races for:

• Statewide Offices
• U.S. Senate
• U.S. Representatives to Congress
• General Assembly
• Members of State Board of Education
• Ohio Supreme Court
• Court of Appeals

“Yet again, the bipartisan teams of election professionals in all 88 counties delivered another inclusive and secure election for the people of Ohio,” LaRose said. “As county boards across the state to continue to conduct their post-election audits of the results, I expect we’ll once again soon see the same high accuracy rates in the results that Ohio voters have come to expect, and that help further instill voter confidence in both the process and the outcomes. The officials who make up our county boards of elections are among the most hard-working, diligent, and disciplined public officials in the nation, and I am grateful for their continued extraordinary service to our state and our democracy.”

LaRose said more than 4.2 million ballots were counted, which is the second-most ever for a gubernatorial election year.
