Statewide election results delayed until at least 9 p.m.

Source: FOX 8 Cleveland

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 today’s General Election until the polls in Hamilton County close at 9 p.m.,” Husted’s office said.

That means no results until at least 9 p.m. in Cuyahoga County as well.

Husted is a creep, a tireless worker against voting rights.

UPDATE 11/3/2015 7:57 PM

Ohio's elections chief has told local officials to start tallying votes, but not release statewide results until 9 p.m., the extended closing time for polls in Cincinnati and surrounding Hamilton County.

Polls closed at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday elsewhere in Ohio, but a judge ordered a 90-minute extension for voting locations in Hamilton County.

The marijuana legalization campaign ResponsibleOhio sought the extension in a filing for an emergency injunction, citing problems that occurred with a new electronic check-in system. The judge concluded that extending polling hours there was the right response.

It looked like it was just Hamilton County Board of Elections on the news during the hearing.

I wonder how much difference it made. It was all provisional ballots after 7...
