David Joyce mauled Matt Lynch in the 14th District Congressional GOP race and the incumbent will face Michael Wager in November.

In the only contested statewide Supreme Court race Pat Fischer won the GOP primary against Colleen Mary O'Toole. He will face John O'Donnell.

Locally, Summit County District 5 Democrat Tamela Lee failed in her bid for re-election while under indictment for corruption. David Hamilton won the race over DeAndre Fourney. In District 1 an upset in the northern Summit County area where longtime County Council's Nick Kostandaras fell to Rita Darrow for the Democratic nomination. Tim Crawford pulled out a last-minute comback in the Council District 7 Democratic race, beating Nolan James by 194 votes.

In other local contested races 38th District State Representative Judith Lynn Lee beat Matt Browarek for the Democrats.

In local levies Norton's twin school issues both lost; Green's renewal emergency levy won. Manchester's bond issue lost by 85 votes. Springfield's renewal emergency levy narrowly lost by only 44 votes. The Cuyahoga Falls levy renewal passed easily.

CLICK HERE for the direct Summit County Board of Elections results page for Tuesday, March 15, 2016. 1590 WAKR will have broadcast updates during tonight's University of Akron-Ohio State University NIT game with full coverage immediately following the basketball game. You can also follow our reporting on @1590WAKRNews on Twitter and 1590 WAKR on Facebook. This page will be refreshed throughout the day with reports and updated.

 

9:57 p.m. It's over at least as far as Ohio's presidential sweepstakes; native son John Kasich claims all 66 GOP Delegates in the state hosting the Republican convention. From here on it'll be Kasich, Trump and Cruz. Hillary Clinton takes Ohio's Democrats.

Former Governor and Congressman Ted Strickland wins the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate, and will take on incumbent Republican Rob Portman. All local incumbent Congress reps sailed to wins; Fudge, Renacci and Ryan either unopposed or with token opposition. In the 14th District incumbent Republican David Joyce wins over Matt Lynch.

Only one Supreme Court nomination, among Republicans, contested. Pat Fisher is leading Colleen Mary O'Toole.

Akron's charter issues both easy winners; early results in Norton's school levies show both losing, Springfield still too close but losing and the others still waiting for results.

Summit County District 5 race the indicted incumbent Tamela Lee a big loser with half the vote in, David Hamilton a tightening race against DeAndre Fourney.

- - -

9:22 p.m. This may be a very early night; John Kasich taking Ohio's 66 GOP votes and making Donald Trump wait, even as Trump won Florida and Rubio bowed out. Hillary Clinton takes Ohio for the Democrats.

In the other federal races of interest U.S. Senate democrats going for Ted Strickland in big way, nearly 3-1 over PG Sittenfeld. In the contested GOP Primary for 14th District Congress incumbent David Joyce rolling over Tea Party favorite Matt Lynch with a commanding more than 2-1 lead. The lone contested statewide judicial primary has Fischer over O'Toole for Supreme Court among the Republicans, 20% of precincts reporting.

Akron's charter issues winning; still too early for local school issues and levies.

Local results starting to work their way out of the Board of Elections, and in that Summit County District 5 race the indicted incumbent Tamela Lee a big loser with half the vote in, David Hamilton leading DeAndre Fourney.

- - -

8:57 p.m. Ohio went for Hillary Clinton -- she's the projected winner for Ohio, maintaining a more than 2-1 win over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary. Among the Republican John Kasich still holds a lead over Donald Trump and some media groups are projecting Kasich the winner here in Ohio.

Marco Rubio's dropped out and suspending his campaign after a disappointing performance in Florida, where it was 99 winner-take-all delegates going to Donald Trump.In the U.S. Senate race Ted Strickland so far running away with the primary among the Democrats over P.G. Sittenfeld. In the hot 14th District Congressional race incumbent David Joyce holds a 2-1 lead over Matt Lynch.

Local results still a waiting game out of 500 Grant Street where workers are still working thanks to a generator after a power transformer blew yesterday. The few races worth following -- most uncontested -- includes the County District 5 rep race where indicted incumbent Tamela Lee is third in a field of three to hold her seat.

- - -

8:33 p.m. No surprises but Marco Rubio delivering what sounds like a done and out speech just after 8:00. In Florida Trump and Clinton -- Trump taking all 99 delegates.

Here in Ohio early results with 13% of results in showing John Kasich with a double-digit lead over Donald Trump, on the democratic side Hillary Clinton a 2-1 lead over Bernie Sanders.

U.S. Senate Democrats going with Ted Strickland with 70% of the early vote over P.G. Sittenfeld; in the Congressional race for the 14th district incumbent David Joyce over Matt Lynch more than 2-1 and those are statewide and district results.

Just about every Summit County race on the ballot uncontested; Tamela Lee an exception in District 5 Council where she's getting walloped in early voting and absentee with only 22%.

Our Jeff Looker at the Board of Elections where early results have been slow to post; workers there on generator after a blown transformer yesterday.

- - -

8:17 p.m. Some early statewide results rolling in -- and in VERY early results it's John Kasich with a 12-point lead over Donald Trump in Ohio, Hillary Clinton more than doubling Bernie Sanders which may be more of a sign of early voting in a handful of counties. Some precincts are still voting in southwest Ohio around Cincinnati and will remain open until 8:30 due to traffic issues; officials wanted to be sure EVERYONE in line to vote was able to. 

Already the "we won" emails going out; Democrat Tim Ryan's campaign forwarding a "we did it" email to supporters just aftyer 8:00 for his district covering mostly Youngstown but also reaching into Akron. The race for the 14th District race between Republicans David Joyce, the incumbent, and Matt Lynch is one that's been contentious. 

In Summit County absentee voting in the Summit District 5 council race Tamela Lee far behind in the counting of early and absentee votes.

 
- - -

8:08 p.m. The results statewide show John Kasich with a 44% tally, a lead over Donald Trump's 32% but those are still very early numbers. Hillary Clinton has an early lead in first results, double over Bernie Sanders.

- - -

7:30 p.m. Polls are closed although those voters in line still have time to vote. We'll post results as soon as they are available.

- - -

6:41 p.m. No major problems other than one of the worst things that can happen in the electronics-heavy counting of votes -- a power outage. A blown utility transformer will be repaired after tonight's vote-counting at the Summit County Board of Elections at 500 Grant Street. Operations are running smoothly thanks to a transformer, which has been in use all day. Voters in-line at 7:30 p.m. can cast their ballots but those not in line when the doors closed will find it's too late. Voter turnout has been described as moderate to heavy; expect the first results shortly after the polls close at 7:30 as early and absentee ballots already received will be sent through computers doing the counting, with the rest of the night's results depending on when precincts are fully closed, ballot machines are secured and results are physically delivered to the Board of Elections. That process usually takes about 90 minutes to two hours depending on how far away local precincts are; the farthest, in northern Summit County's GOP-rich Sagamore Hills, Twinsburg, Macedonia, Northfield Center, Northfield Village and Reminderville are generally the last to be delivered.

- - -

10:49 a.m. Polls have been open on this 2016 Primary Election Day for a little more than four hours, but the reality is more than 400,000 voters already voted in Ohio's primaries. Voting in both the Democratic and Republican primaries is based on party identification expressed when voters went to the Board of Elections for early voting, requested a mail-in ballot or are present for today's voting with polling places open until 7:30 p.m. tonight. Independent voters can cast ballots for non-partisan issues but cannot vote for the partisan candidates on the ballot without declaring a party.
