MEDINA – The official results of the Nov. 8 election compiled by the Medina County Board of Elections indicate Donald Trump carried not only Medina County, but won in virtually every area of the county.

Hillary Clinton got more votes than Trump across the nation but only 35 percent of the 92,163 votes cast for president in Medina County. Trump got more votes than Clinton in all but one of the county’s 117 precincts. The only precinct in which Clinton won was Medina’s 1-C in which she got 53 percent of the votes cast in that section of Medina.

Republican dominance in Medina County was evident up and down the ballot Nov. 8. Democrats did not win a single race in Medina County, not even Dean Holman, who lost his re-election bid as county prosecutor despite having held the office since 1988.

Republican challenger Forrest Thompson got 52 percent of the county vote in upsetting Holman Nov. 8. The breakdown of votes by the Board of Elections showed that Thompson won by building big majorities in the county’s townships and villages.

Holman won in 50 precincts, many of them in the cities of Brunswick, Medina and Wadsworth. He carried 12 precincts in Brunswick, 13 in Medina and 10 in Wadsworth.

Most other Democratic candidates didn’t do any better than Clinton in Medina County. U.S. Se. Rob Portman, U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, State Sen. Larry Obhof, and State Rep. Steve Hambley won all but one precinct here in their re-election bids. In each case, that precinct was Medina 1-C, a rare Democratic stronghold in Medina County.

Medina Councilman Mark Kolesar won four precincts in Medina in his race for county commissioner. However, Republican Bill Hutson still got 20,000 more votes and won election with 62 percent of the vote.

Commissioner Pat Geissman won re-election with 65 percent of the vote. Her opponent, Matthew Zamborsky, did virtually no campaigning prior to the election, but still won 54 percent in Medina precinct 1-C and 41 percent of the votes in one precinct in Lodi, Geissman’s hometown.

Common Pleas Judge Chris Collier was the only candidate to carry all 117 precincts in Medina County, even Medina 1-C. It should be noted, however, judicial races are considered nonpartisan and candidates do not have a party affiliation attached to their names on the general election ballot.

Voter turnout was down about 4 percent across Ohio, but up in Medina County. About 93,000 county residents cast ballots in the Nov. 8 election, nearly 77 percent of the 121,000 registered voters here.
