Ohio voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party 's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Presidential primary elections for three parties were also held in Ohio, concurrently with Florida, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina on March 15, 2016. In the Democratic primary, 143 delegates were awarded proportionally in a modified primary which was won by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the Republican primary, John Kasich, the state 's current governor, won all of the state 's 66 delegates. Ohio was won by Donald Trump by a margin of 8.1 points. Prior to the election, most news organizations considered the Buckeye State as leaning Republican, due to his appeal to blue collar voters in the rust belt. Ohio kept its streak of voting for the winner ( a bellwether state ) since 1964, as it voted for Trump, who won nationally. Having voted Democratic in 2012 and 2008, the win margin was the second largest of the states Trump flipped Red ( after Iowa ). It is also the largest victory margin since George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis in 1988. Ohio was an unprecedented 10 points more Republican - leaning than the nation in 2016.

The state 's 143 pledged delegates to the 2016 Democratic National Convention were rewarded proportionally according to the statewide vote total. Three candidates appeared on the ballot for the primary -- former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders and businessman Rocky De La Fuente. Background By the time Ohio held its primaries, voters from 21 states and two territories already cast their vote for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. As of the March 12 elections, Hillary Clinton was projected to have earned 775 pledged delegates to Bernie Sanders ' 552. Clinton gained significant victories in the Southern United States, often described as her `` firewall '', including landslide victories in Mississippi and Alabama and Georgia. In contrast, Bernie Sanders managed to gain victories in the Midwestern United States, where Ohio resides, including an upset victory in neighboring Michigan on March 8. After the fact, Sanders ' campaign took advantage of the momentum gained from the Michigan win, by targeting Illinois, Missouri and Ohio in the March 15 elections, hoping to repeat the same result. Sanders stated that `` Not only is Michigan the gateway to the rest of the industrial Midwest, the results there show that we are a national campaign. '' Before the Michigan primaries, Clinton and Sanders had debated over economic policies relating to the industrial midwest states and the so - called `` rust belt ''. The disagreements centered around trade deals, including the Trans - Pacific Partnership and Clinton 's past support of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and its effect on economies such as Michigan and Ohio. Controversy Ohio is one of at least seventeen states that has laws allowing voters who are 17 years of age, but will be 18 by the time of the general election, to vote in the presidential primaries. However, Ohio Secretary of State Jon A. Husted had announced in December 2015 that 17 year olds would be outright barred from participating in the 2016 primaries. The rationale for the decision was based on an interpretation of the law in which 17 year olds could `` nominate '' officials for office, but not `` elect ''. In the case of the presidential primaries, by definition, voters would be electing officials - delegates to each party 's presidential nominating convention. The decision was met with criticism by the public, after it was brought to mainstream attention by Representative Kathleen Clyde, after she condemned the rule in a statement released on March 5. Clyde described it as a `` underhanded, backroom attack '' against young voters. Nine teenagers filed a lawsuit with the Ohio Courts of Common Pleas in Franklin County over the decision, stating that the decision contradicted state law and a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that allowed 17 year olds turning 18 by the general election to vote. Bernie Sanders ' campaign, whose voter base includes the majority of young voters, also filed a lawsuit against the decision, accusing Husted of `` arbitrarily '' and `` unconsititutionally '' discriminating against young African - American and Latino voters, citing data from the 2010 United States Census that shows younger voters in Ohio were mostly African - American and Latino. Husted, in response to Sanders ' lawsuit, said in a public statement that he welcomed the lawsuit, further stating that `` I am very happy to be sued on this issue because the law is crystal clear '', though, he later spoke out negatively against the lawsuit, claiming that it was a `` a last - minute political act '', designed to `` draw attention to his campaign. '' Many Ohio officials, past and present, such as former Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, came out in support of Sanders ' lawsuit, and had attracted protests by not only Bernie Sanders supporters, but also Donald Trump supporters as well. In a decision handed down on March 11, an Ohio state judge ruled in favour of both lawsuits by the teenage group and the Sanders campaign, effectively lifting the ban on 17 year olds from voting in the Ohio presidential primaries. Husted initially announced that he would appeal the ruling, however, after learning that such an appeal would n't be heard by the court until the day before the primaries, he retracted his intent to appeal.
