Ohio’s Secretary of State Frank LaRose certified the results of the 2020 general election on Friday, delivering the state’s 18 electoral votes to President Donald Trump, who beat Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by about 8 percentage points.
LaRose, a Republican, said in an announcement that nearly 6 million people voted in the state this year—or 5,974,121 ballots cast in total—hailing it as “a new record.”
