The Portage County Board of Elections released unofficial results of the Nov. 7 elections on Sunday. Results on state-wide issues 1 (abortion) and 2 (cannabis) and county-wide levies 29 (developmental disabilities), 30 (mental health), and 31 (parks) show both familiar and unexpected geographic patterns.
Issue 1 and 2 followed similar patterns, with heavy support in the cities and villages, but also many townships that typically vote more conservatively. In fact, only 16 out of 129 precincts in Portage County voted against Issue 1, and 19 opposed Issue 2.
