Ordinary people wanting current vote in Ohio resolved (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
hoi polloi
'ordinary people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'current vote in ohio resolved' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'vote' becomes 'poll' (polling is a kind of voting).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'resolved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'poll'='ipoll'
'ohio' anagrammed gives 'hooi'.
'ipoll' placed into 'hooi' is 'HOI-POLLOI'.
'wanting' is the link.
(Other definitions for hoi polloi that I've seen before include "The common people generally" , "The masses (Greek)" , "Proletariat" , "(Often derogatory) term for the masses or common people" , "ordinary people" .)
