If you waited up for Lucas County results Tuesday night, here's why it dragged. WTOL reported that a large, last-minute delivery of absentee ballots and many ballots needing to be remade were among the causes. Election Day also began with a scare: School, a polling place on Toledo's Southside, was emptied after phoned-in bomb threats. Toledo Public Schools spokeswoman Patty Mazur said the first call came around 10:30 a.m.
