2020 General Election Results – Nov. 4th

*Race information is reported as of 8:00 AM November 4, 2020 and may change as additional ballots are counted*

Going into the weekend before the election, Vice President Biden was gaining momentum with Ohio voters and broke the latest statistical polling tie with President Trump. Nationally, based on two polls, Vice President Biden was ahead of President Trump by 5 points. At this point in the vote counting, the presidential race as a whole is still too early to call, as we await final vote tallies from the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. From a turnout perspective, all early voting records were shattered in 2020 because of voter enthusiasm and coronavirus-related concerns over potential crowds on election day.

With respect to Ohio, as stated in previous iterations of our update, the top of the ticket has a major impact on the down-ticket candidates. It follows then that, with President Trump taking the state 53%-45%, Republicans generally came out on top as that success followed them down the ballot as well.

*Starred races are pickups, or ones that flipped from Democratic to Republican or Republican to Democratic.

The Senate Republicans will hold onto their supermajority in the Senate Chamber, while also picking up a seat in northeast Ohio. Democratic Sen. Sean O’Brien looks to have lost his Ashtabula/Trumbull county area district by a slim margin. However, as of Nov. 4th at 7:00 AM, the Senate Democrats may still pick up one seat in Central Ohio. Senate Democratic candidate Crystal Lett and Senate Republican incumbent are in an extremely competitive race that is too close to call. If the Senate Democrats pick up the Central Ohio seat, the Democrats will keep their 9 seats and the Republicans will continue their supermajority with 24 seats.
