What 44 elections add up to

Each line is worked out from the table further down. "Margin" there is the winner's share minus the runner-up's; "lean" is the Republican share minus the Democratic share.

Morrow County voted for the candidate who won the presidency in 29 of 44 elections, 32nd among Ohio's 88 counties by that count (tied with 9 others). The most recent miss was 2020, when it voted for Donald J Trump and the country elected Joe Biden.

Year by year, 1852 to 2024

Newest first. Rank is the county's place among Ohio's counties that year from most Republican (1) to most Democratic, by lean. Lincoln's 1864 National Union ticket is counted as Republican and Horace Greeley's 1872 Liberal Republican ticket, which the Democrats also nominated, as Democratic; 1852 had no Republican ticket, so it has no lean or rank.
