College GOP and College Dems event

The College Republicans and the College Democrats gathered for an election watch party Tuesday night at The Inn.

Here, Maddie Kimmel shows her support for her guy while Lydia Heinlen cheers for her gal. The photo was taken early in the evening, thus everyone was smiling at that point.

Early on, the TV networks made the obvious calls so the electoral count bounced from one candidate winning to the other being in the lead.

As the night progressed, the GOPers in the crowd got more excited, especially when Donald Trump took Ohio.

Would this trend continue? Would nearly all pollsters and pundits be wrong?

Ada and Liberty Township voters were in a good mood on Tuesday.
• Library levy - approved.
• Two park levies - approved.
• Ada Express Mart liquor sales and Sunday sales - approved.

There were county commissioner races, but candidates for eight county offices were unopposed.

Sheriff Everhart's popularity was evident by his garnering more votes than the other unopposed candidates. Everhart, an Ada High School grad, was elected to a third four-year team.

The Hardin County turnout was virtually the same as four years ago: 68.0% yesterday to 68.1% in 2012.
