How Solon Residents Voted In the 2012 Election
We delve into election results to see how Solon residents voted on the presidential, senate and other races down the ballot.
Barack Obama won the national vote and he won in Ohio.
He also won in Solon, according to unofficial vote totals from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
While Cuyahoga County is a Democratic stronghold, Republicans needed to perform well in the suburbs to shave off votes from the president's total.

But Solon did not always go Democratic. David Joyce, the GOP candidate for U.S. Congress to replace Steven LaTourette, was picked by Solon voters over Democrat Dale Blanchard. They also chose state Sen. Tom Patton, a Republican, over Democrat Jennifer Brady.
Solon residents favored one candidate that did not win: Anthony Fossaceca, the Democratic candidate for the 6th Ohio House District, won in Solon but lost the election to GOP Rep. Marlene Anielski.
