Obama was not Ohio’s top vote-getter

By Anthony Shoemaker | Saturday, November 8, 2008, 03:02 PM

According to the Associated Press, President-elect Barack Obama was not the candidate on Tuesday who received the most votes in Ohio.

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O&’Connor (right), who drew 2.8 million votes in her successful re-election bid, received more votes than Obama in Ohio.

That’s the most number of votes a state supreme court justice has received, according to the AP.

Obama received 2,749,284 votes in Ohio, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
