All But One Stow Precinct Supported the School District's Levy

Issue 67, the Stow-Munroe Falls District's renewal levy, passed by more than 3,000 votes. Find out which precinct overall wasn't in favor of it passing.

Issue 67, the district's 10-year 7.84-mill levy passed by 3,060 votes Nov. 6, 2012.  All but one Stow precinct out of 19 was collectively in favor of the Stow-Munroe Falls School District's renewal levy passing — precinct 3-C.  According to final but unofficial results from the Summit County Board of Elections, 11,549 voted for the levy and 8,489 voted against it.

If It Were Up to Stow, Mitt Romney Would be President

Take a look at the tallies for each precinct in Stow — did your section of town vote Republican or Democrat?

Barack Obama won the national vote and he won in Ohio. But, if Stow alone decided the next president of the United States, Mitt Romney would be the winner.  According to unofficial results from the Summit County Board of Elections, 147 more Stow voters picked Romney over President Barack Obama — who was re-elected Nov. 6, 2012.  In Stow, 8,863 voted for Obama and 9,010 voted for Romney.  One person in the entire city voted for Stewart Alexander of the Socialist party.  The polling results contradict a campaign donation report for Stow. Far more Stow residents gave money to the Obama campaign than Romney's.  3-B 4-E 0 1 1 12 448 522 3

That is why I moved to Stow. This city has more sense than the rest of Ohio and the country. This should tell you too that Stow would like more reporting conservative issues.   more ›

Meet One of Stow's Most Patriotic Poll Workers

Betty Destafano has been volunteering at the polls for 25 years and almost every piece of clothing she is wearing is red, white and blue.

Stow resident Betty Destafano got a call 25 years ago asking her to volunteer at the polls, but she said she wishes she had started 25 years before that.  The almost 70-year-old is helping out on election day for the 25th time. Destafano says she's very patriotic and it shows.  Nearly every piece of clothing and every accessory she had on while working at a table at the Akron-General Health and Wellness Center had a flag on it or was red, white and blue.  "I'm very patriotic — I stand for freedom," a smiling Destafano said. On Tuesday she was wearing flag socks, shoes, shirt, jacket, glasses, buttons and jewelry — including a flag watch and a ruby, sapphire and diamond ring.  "My friends give me red, white and blue flag things all the time…
