30. I don't think this is that big of a deal.

Similar to the Ellen Connolly numbers, I don't think this is indicative of fraud. In many rural areas, I don't think its unusual for someone who has made personal connection with many people there, perhaps living there their entire life, to outperform the Presidential candidate. People don't vote straight party line all the time.

As for the Ohio Supreme Court matter, it's dubious at best. Judges can't put their party affiliation on the ballot, so many times people don't know so they just guess. Its sad but true. Its probably how Ellen Connolly won more votes than Kerry in southern Ohio.
