"From what I understand, it's a pretty widespread trend across the state. I want to be optimistic and think that a lot of people have seen the light.

Clermont and Warren counties are heavily Republican, yet almost as many people voted Democrat as Republican.
Of Clermont County's 128,128 registered voters, 37,714 are registered Republicans and 14,496 are registered Democrats. With all precincts counted, 26,279 people had cast Democratic ballots and 28,032 had cast Republican ballots.
Warren County has 12,440 registered Democrats and 41,377 registered Republicans. With all precincts reporting, that county was reporting 27,855 Democratic ballots cast and 28,683 Republican.
