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

Accumulating Lake-Effect Snow Possible for Cleveland, Ashtabula, and Northeast Ohio Friday Into Saturday as Phasing Storm Brings Rain, Thunder, and Wintry Mix

ASHTABULA, Ohio — A developing storm system is shaping up to bring a mix of rain, wintry weather, and lake-effect snow to Northern Ohio over the next few days. The latest model guidance shows growing support for the storm to phase with a mid-level trough at nearly the perfect time for the region. That timing could make a big difference in how strong the system becomes and how much wintry weather follows. The period to watch most closely is Friday into Saturday morning, when accumulating lake-effect snow is possible.

One person may have spread measles at a half-dozen sites in Ohio

One person infected with measles may have spread the highly contagious disease over a period of about a week at more than a half-dozen sites in Northeast Ohio. Geauga Public Health is reporting a confirmed case of measles with exposures at several public locations in Geauga and Lake counties during the time period the individual was able to spread the virus. Statewide, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting 310 cases in 25 counties so far this year, according to its most recent summary of infectious diseases dashboard update on Nov. 5. That number is nearly six times (588.9%) more than the 45 cases reported in all of 2025. The vast majority of cases in Ohio are among unvaccinated individuals, per ODH. “It’s unfortunate that these outbreaks have become more common in Ohio over the past few years, because this disease is preventable,” Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, ODH director, said a July 30 statement. “This serves to emphasize the importance of being fully vaccinated. I strongly encourage you to protect yourselves and your children by getting vaccinated.” Here's where measles may have spread in Geauga and Lake counties.
