It's (finally) Primary Day in Ohio and we've got results for you!

Geauga County voters renewed a 5-yr, .5-mill levy for children's services with 78% approval.

Earlier tonight, @AP called Ohio's presidential primary for @JoeBiden (no surprise there: "The result was never in doubt after Biden’s last rival, @BernieSanders, dropped out of the race earlier this month," AP wrote.)

@AP @JoeBiden @BernieSanders In Lake County, the third time's the charm for Willoughby-Eastlake School: the 10-year, 4.94 mill levy was approved with 57% of the vote.

Levies failed in Aug. & Nov. 2019 and @WESchools was facing another $5 million in cuts.

The erosion-plagued Geneva Township Parks District in Ashtabula County got its levy passed -- barely: 793 votes in favor, 729 against.

Tonight's results are considered unofficial and all ballots postmarked by April 27 will be counted, so coming deliveries could change the Geneva Township parks levy results (and any other close races!) in the next few days.

Now that we have initial primary results from @cuyahogaboe, we also have some more very tight races on our hands...

...starting with a 43-vote margin in favor of a proposed income tax increase in @mayfieldhtscity

Others passed easily, like the @CuyahogaHHS levy increase, which was approved by 70 percent of primary voters.
It's expected to raise $35 million in additional revenue for foster care, adoption, juvenile court, @metrohealthCLE
Medical Center and more.
