Posted by Fred Steiner on March 17, 2016 - 2:31pm

March 15 precinct results reveal interesting trends of Bluffton, Beaverdam and Richland Township voters.

For example, if Bluffton voters for president had their way it would be Kasich versus Sanders in November. If Richland Township voters had their way it would be a toss up between Clinton and Sanders versus Kasich. If Beaverdam voters had their way it would be a Clinton-Sanders toss up versus Trump.

School district voters were in near total agreement on the school levy and library levy, with each passing in the 70 percentile figure.
