Warren County voted in line with the rest of the state yesterday, which awarded the majority of its delegates to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Trump won just over 50 percent of Warren County votes on the Republican ticket with 2,987 cards cast in his favor. He was followed by Ted Cruz with 1,824 (30.6 percent), John Kasich with 656 (11 percent) and Marco Rubio with 364 (6.1 percent).

Clinton won Warren County with a landslide 84.3 percent of the votes, a total of 3,462. Her closest competitor, Bernie Sanders, earned just 612 votes, less than 15 percent.

Warren County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Eric Biedenharn said he was not surprised Trump carried the Warren County vote.

“We’ve got all this apparent controversy in the Republican party, but the Democrats have a declared socialist running for president, and nobody in the Democratic party or the media cares, including Hillary Clinton,” he said. “That speaks volumes about what the Democratic party is all about. We’re going to support whatever Republican nominee comes out of this process.”

Ronnie McDaniel said he wanted a candidate who was going to balance the budget.

“It’s very important to me to get rid of a lot of the things that are being given away in this country,” he said. “That’s why we’re in so much debt.”

McDainel said he voted for Trump, adding he was the one best suited to fix the budget.

“He’s got the best chance of anybody,” he said. “All my friends and people I see on a day to day basis, they voted for Trump, all those guys.”

Michelle Crawley said she voted for Clinton because she thinks she can help create more jobs.

“She’s talking about change,” she said. “I’m looking forward to her, and I’m looking forward to doing better.”

Crawley added she thinks Clinton being the first female president is an added bonus.

LaToya Brooks said she cares about education and she’s a big supporter of Common Core standards.

“I was looking for someone who was concerned with the real issues, not the hooplah,” she said. “I wanted someone who’s going to get something done.”

Brooks cast her vote for Bernie Sanders.

Warren County had 10,099 cards cast during Tuesday’s presidential primary, nearly 37 percent of registered voters.

District 4 Election Commissioner and Chairman of the Election Comission Sara Carlson Dionne said there was a good voter turnout, especially with there being no local elections.

“It’s unfortunate (the numbers are so low), but that really is pretty good,” she said. “I think people were paying more than they sometimes do just because of all the media coverage of the candidates.”

Dionne encourages Warren County residents to be prepared to vote in November. In addition to the president, voters will also be choosing a state supreme court justice, a court of appeals judge, two school board trustees and other positions.

“If you’re not registered, you need to register,” she said. “The deadline will be early October, but please don’t wait all summer.”

Dionne added if there’s been a name change or address change, now is the time to updated that information to avoid having trouble when it’s time to vote in November.
