Three Republicans in recent history - Mitt Romney in 2012, George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Gerald Ford in 1976 - won the combined vote in Ohio's 87 other counties but lost the state because of how soundly they were defeated in Cuyahoga County.Last time around, Barack Obama defeated Romney in Cuyahoga County, 447,273 votes to 190,660 (69.4 percent to 29.6 percent). Obama's win in Cuyahoga County more than offset Romney's 90,341-vote lead in the 87 other counties.. Ohio has voted with the national winner for 13 straight elections, starting with Lyndon Johnson in 1964.Cleveland.com

On Friday, it became clear that top Trump campaign officials knew the FBI was going to reopen its case before FBI director James Comey made the announcement a week ago in a letter to House Republicans—and that they possibly had a role in forcing the decision. That conclusion and open question arose after parsing a series of televised comments by Rudy Giuliani, the ex-federal prosecutor, ex-New York City mayor and top Trump ally in which Giuliani repeatedly bragged about leaks from disgruntled, Clinton-hating FBI agents.Steven Rosenfeld

The hackers believed responsible for breaking into computers at the Democratic National Committee have exploited previously undisclosed flaws in Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system and Adobe Systems Inc.’s Flash software, Microsoft said Tuesday. the hackers, whom the company has dubbed Strontium, used “phishing” email messages leveraging vulnerabilities in Windows and Adobe Flash to target a specific set of customers.
