Ohio's 15th District, located near the center of the state, comprises three counties and includes all but the eastern edge of Columbus, the state capital. On Election Day, voters in the more liberal parts of the district, including Columbus and the campus of Ohio State University, have typically been outmatched by voters in more conservative suburban and rural areas. However, Democrat registration and turnout drives in the city in 2004 led two of the three counties in Pryce's district to vote Democrat, while Bush won only a 50.3 percent majority in the district. The 60 percent of the vote Pryce received that year can be counted as a decisive victory, but it was the lowest percentage she has received since her first election in 1992.
