NOVEMBER 8, 2016 - ELECTION DAY

UPDATED:  10:44 PM 

IT IS LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR JEFF JAKMIDES!  CAN HE PULL THE UPSET OFF?


Post 11:  (10:45)  88% of precincts have been reported.

Post 10:  (10:39)  Jakmides pulling even closer.  Only 649 votes behind with perhaps as many as 20,000 votes to count.  Could we be saying Prosecutor-elect Jakmides within the hour?



Post 9:  (10:25)  Jakmides pulling closer.  Less than 2,000 votes behind.  Are there enough votes out in the county for him to defeat incumbent prosecutor Ferrero?



Post 8:  (10:17)  With as many as perhaps 50,000 or more votes to count, it is looking likely that Republican Jeff Jakmides will overcome incumbent Democrat prosecutor John Ferrero and become Stark County's next prosecutor, to wit:
