Ohio 44th district race has Republican ahead by 56 votes

Ohio's 44 th District seat vacated by Republican Josh Williams is within automatic recount territory, so far. Some votes remain to be counted, which are provisional ballots, overseas ballots and absentee 11-S challenge forms. The election totals reported in Ohio are unofficial numbers because the count has not yet included those votes. Currently, only 56 votes separate Republican Edward Schimmel and Democrat David Fournier, putting it within the 0.5% that Lucas County Board of Elections Director LaVera Scott said was the automatic trigger for a recount. Schimmel has 26,612 votes (47.97%) to Fournier’s 26,556 votes (47.87%). Independent candidate Lyndsey Stough received 2,313 votes (4.17%). The "canoe" or "dumbbell" district is composed of the western part of Lucas County, the northern section of Wood County and a western section of Ottawa County. Due to its spread across parts of three counties, it's unclear how many provisional, overseas and challenged ballots come from which parts of the district. “We don’t process them according to district at all. Once the board votes on them to tell if they are valid or not, then they are generated," Scott said. "Only after that time would we be able to link them to any district. All

Data center restrictions gain momentum across northwest Ohio

Successful citizen-led ballot initiatives limiting the size of data centers have led to a flurry of activity in other Toledo-area municipalities since the Nov. 3 election, including Whitehouse, Waterville, and Rossford. Volunteers turned over signed petitions for those three communities on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, respectively. They claim they gathered more than enough signatures for the Lucas County Board of Elections to certify them and require each of those municipalities to put similar ballot issues in front of voters in those communities. Next up are Perrysburg, Maumee, and Bowling Green. Toledo, which would need many more signatures because of its size, could eventually be targeted as well, said Lyn Cox, county lead for Conserve Ohio’s grassroots efforts in Lucas and Wood counties. Petitions have come back from printers for Perrysburg and Maumee, and are expected to be available in the next day or two for Bowling Green, she said. In the coming weeks, citizen-led ballot initiatives also will begin in Sylvania and Holland, Ms. Cox said. The activity comes in the aftermath of Oregon’s overwhelming vote in favor of a charter amendment that bans the construction of data centers that require 25 megawatts or more of electricity, which eliminates hyperscale
