Web election news innovators: Ohio News Now

By Steve Safran 

Don Taylor, Managing Editor of the Ohio News Network, tells us about his channel’s “Vote Tracker,” which sounds like a cool tool. From the press release: “VoteTracker will allow web users to track Ohio results online, including county-by-county breakdowns, in real time as they are fed to the ONN newsroom. This tool will be available for Governor, Senate and all Ohio US Congressional districts. See all 88 Ohio counties in red, blue, light blue or light red to easily track county votes and highly contested races as the results come in. You’ll be able to click on the counties for details on current vote totals and percentages per county and monitor statewide results. You can also monitor any three races in the state at once on one easy screen. This will not be a projection tool, but will track the real results as they are fed in to the ONN newsroom.” Is your station, newspaper or site doing something special for the election?
