Ohioans made their voices heard on Election Day and cast their votes to ensure Republican victories in the White House, the U.S. Senate, the Ohio Supreme Court and elsewhere.

Here's a look at what happened in the Ohio election last night and why.

Ohio election results: Who won the local, statewide presidential election?

Donald Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris in Ohio, the biggest victory for the president in 40 years

Ohio voters chose former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris with a double-digit victory, a result that underscores Ohio's transition from a presidential frontrunner to a solidly Republican state.

Trump handily won Ohio in 2016 and 2020, so his victory in 2024 is not surprising. But the lead was impressive.

Trump's 11-point lead was the largest for a presidential candidate in Ohio in 40 years.

Ohio Senator JD Vance is now Vice President-elect. How did he get there and what happens next?

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, a Cincinnati resident and Middletown native, is known as one of the top leaders of the next generation of the populist conservative movement launched by President-elect Donald Trump.

Now he will officially be Trump's successor as Vice President of the United States.

What you should know about his journey from Middletown to the White House.

Now that JD Vance becomes vice president, what will happen to his Ohio Senate seat?

Trump and Vance will be sworn in on January 20, just two years after Vance took the oath of office for his first term in the Senate.

Now Ohio has to fill a seat in the Senate (again).

Here's what happens next.

This is why Ohio Issue 1, a proposal to end gerrymandering, failed

Ohio voters soundly rejected Issue 1, a proposal to replace elected officials with a citizens' commission that would draw congressional and state legislative districts.

Republicans overcame a massive fundraising deficit to convince Ohioans that Issue 1 was too confusing and flawed to pass. The measure failed as Republicans won statewide races in Ohio, including victories for former President Donald Trump and Senate challenger Bernie Moreno.

But supporters of Issue 1 say Ohio voters were deceived by Republican-crafted ballot language and misleading campaigns against their measure.

Republican Bernie Moreno edges out Sherrod Brown in the crucial Ohio Senate race. How did he do it?

Sen. Sherrod Brown repeated the same refrain as he navigated the toughest campaign of his political career: “It’s always been Ohio.”

On Tuesday, it was Ohio that helped Republicans gain control of the U.S. Senate by ousting Brown and electing Republican businessman Bernie Moreno

Here are four takeaways from Moreno's win over Brown.

For the first time since 1984, a Democrat from Cincinnati won re-election to the House of Representatives

Southwest Ohio's 1st Congressional District remains in Democratic hands after U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman won re-election.

Landsman defeated Republican Orlando Sonza 54% to 46%. In doing so, he did something a Democrat in the Cincinnati region hasn't done in decades: he returned to Congress for a second term.

Springfield, Ohio, came under the spotlight during the election over immigration. How did they vote?

Two months ago, Springfield, Ohio, was in the national political spotlight after current President Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance spread unfounded rumors that Haitian immigrants were eating pets and wildlife in the community.

Local officials quickly refuted the rumors and showed support for the city's small immigrant community.

Here's how residents of Clark County, including the city of Springfield, voted in Tuesday's election.

The Ohio Supreme Court now has a 6-1 Republican majority. What does this mean for abortion rights?

Republicans expanded their control of the Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday, winning three races and giving the GOP six of seven seats starting in January.

The Republican victories come as justices will decide cases involving abortion law changes that voters approved last year. Ohio Right to Life supported the three Republicans for the Supreme Court.

Here's what you should know.

Joe Deters won the race for the Ohio Supreme Court seat but lost the vote in Hamilton County

Republican Joe Deters won the statewide election Tuesday, keeping him on the Ohio Supreme Court, but he didn't fare so well in his old home of Hamilton County.

Deters, the former district attorney and influential GOP politician, lost Hamilton County to Democrat Melody Stewart 53.5% to 46.5%. He won the statewide race 55% to 45%.

The difference isn't shocking. Here's why.

Why Melissa Powers lost the race for district attorney: Democratic change, problems, “out of touch”

For the first time in 92 years, Hamilton County will have a Democrat as its district attorney. Connie Pillich won the job Tuesday that had been the centerpiece of the local Republican Party for a century.

Pillich's loss to Republican Melissa Powers is the final piece of the puzzle for local Democrats, who have watched a once reliably red county turn blue over the past decade. Democrats now hold ten of the eleven non-judicial district offices, including all three seats on the board of district commissioners.
