A last-minute injunction, requested by ResponsibleOhio, extended voting hours in Hamilton County until 9 p.m. That led to Ohio Secretary of State John Husted instructing no county to release statewide election results until 9 p.m.
In order to ensure fairness in the election process, the Secretary has instructed boards of elections to embargo election results from todays General Election until the polls in Hamilton County close at 9 p.m., Husteds office said.
That means no results until at least 9 p.m. in Cuyahoga County as well.
