The Issues

OHIO ISSUES UPDATE:

Ohio voters said yes to veterans, farm animals and gambling.
The unofficial election results as provided by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's office shows all three state issues on today's ballot passed.

Issue 1, involving veterans compensation, passed by a 1,336,025 to 507,748 mark. That means more than 72 percent of the voters favored the issue.

Issue 2, involving the livestock care commission, passed by a 1,198,247 to 655,192 mark, meaning about two-thirds of the voters said yes.

Issue 3, involving casino gambling, passed by a 1,003,591 to 884,543 mark, the closest of the three state issues with about 53 percent giving approval.

ISSUE 3

This will come as a bummer for Dan Rivers who drove his audience to a catatonic distraction by harping on it day after day after day.

Can't wait to see what the statewide results are.
