3,000 Cuyahoga County ballots would have been thrown out if proposed Ohio bill was law

Under a bill passed by the Ohio Senate reducing the voting timeline, nearly 3,000 Cuyahoga County ballots would have been thrown out. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether or not states like Ohio can count absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day after election night.

When it comes to elections, every vote counts — especially in local races.

The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections data shows 10 races were within about 20 votes, with six being within 10, and there were even several ties.

In Cincinnati, the Hamilton County elections board results show that at least 12 races were within 20 votes, with eight being within 10.
