WARREN COUNTY, OH -- The ballots have been counted for the November 4, 2025 General Election. While the numbers are in, these numbers are considered "unofficial" until they are certified by the board of elections. Also, there are a few districts that will more than likely need a recount since Ohio Revised Code 3515.011 states ...
"a recount must be ordered by the appropriate election officials for any district, county, municipal, or township election if the difference between votes cast for the declared winning nominee, candidate, question or issue and the declared losing nominee, candidate, question or issue is equal to or less than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the total votes cast."
A few of the candidates or issues that may be ordered for a recount are...
- Loveland Council Sherry L. Hamlin has a total of 1,212 and Jim Daumeyer has 1,210 votes with Kip Ping only 5 behind at 1,205 once all three of the counties of Clermont, Hamilton and Warren cast votes are counted.
- Harveysburg village council may need a recoung as Charles J. Juniel - 13.48%; James Nelson - 13.48% tied and Randall S. Carruthers - 12.81% is less than a percentage point away.
- Wayne Local School Board has Jacob Hilgendorf and Richard Bowling tied with 796 Total Votes each when the Warren County and Green County numbers are added together.
