Ohio's Big Vote in 2020!

Imagine a big state in the middle of the United States, kind of like a giant puzzle piece! That's Ohio! It has lots of green farms and busy cities. People in Ohio get to help choose who becomes the President of the whole country. In 2020, they had a big decision to make, just like picking your favorite toy!

In 2020, two main teams, or parties, wanted to win. One team had Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the other had President Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Ohio was like a swing in a playground, and its voters helped decide who would be in charge. It was a very close race, and every single vote counted!

When all the votes were counted, Donald Trump won the most votes in Ohio! It was like winning a game by a small score. This was a big deal because Ohio had voted for the winning president for a super long time, like a winning streak in baseball. But in 2020, Ohio's vote was different from the whole country's vote!

Ohio has 18 special votes called 'electoral votes' that help pick the president. It's like having 18 golden tickets! Even though Joe Biden won the whole country, Donald Trump got Ohio's 18 golden tickets. This showed that Ohio was leaning towards the Republican team in that election.
