Ohio's scientists flexed some political muscle Tuesday as four pro-evolution candidates they backed captured or retained seats on the state Board of Education.

In the race that drew national attention, Tom Sawyer, a former Akron mayor and 16-year congressman, beat incumbent Deborah Owens Fink nearly 2-1 for a board seat. Also winning seats were pro-evolution candidates John Bender, Deborah Cain and Sam Schloemer.
