7. As a resident...I doubt Ohio is rigged.

All of the statewide slots went to republicans and the numbers were reasonably consistent. Sherrod is the exception and, in reality, he's a brand of his own.

The congressional delegation is the product of a well gerrymandered state. We have 4 dem congressmen and I believe they all won by 70+. At the same time, the republicans (with one exception) won with 53-58% of the vote. Exception is Jim Jordan with 70+...almost as if they designed his district to tolerate the asshole that he is.

So...rigged?...never say never...but at the same time...all of the local results (at least in SW Ohio) down into the state house and state senate races...their numbers look consistent.
