Probably. You'd think the GOP would learn that when Trump stumps for someone, it turns public opinion against them.

It's difficult to tell who politicians are and what they stand for when they have so little experience.
So really, I couldn't tell you much. You can kind of glean what a candidate stands for if you follow the money though: https://www.opensecrets.org/races/contributors?cycle=2018&id=OH12&spec=N Right off the bat I noticed contributions from end citizens united. O'Connor has said he does not intend to support Nancy Pelosi as a party leader. Danny OConnor leads by 0.9 percentage points, or 1,433 votes, over Troy Balderson with 81 percent of precincts fully reporting. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Looks like the liberals lost this one I wouldn't say so. Binary wins don't really matter in special elections like this. Balderson won't have enough time in Congress for his incumbency to matter in November. The fact that a +11 district went to less than a percentage point victory scares the hell out of any Republicans who understand political analysis. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is Ohio typically a swing state in mid terms? well, the concept of a swing state usually applies to presidential elections, but yes, Ohio's statewide races are often close and contentious however, from what I've seen, this year Sherrod Brown is not worried about his opponent --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

I legit think the democrat will win here btw
the gap between the D and R just shrank by about 200 due to a counting error There are around 3k provisional ballots, which tend to favor democrats pretty heavily, and about 5000 absentee ballots which are hard to predict it's plausible. there's gonna be a recount either way imho --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

Balrog0 posted...they dont start counting those until 10 days from now though I'm not an expert on Ohio voting laws but my understanding is that the state/county isn't allowed to start counting provisional ballots and absentee ballots until 10 days after the election for some reason. In this case, the vote is close enough that O'Connor could demand a recount, but I don't expect either candidate to concede until after the other votes are counted. And then whoever loses will almost certainly ask for a recount if they can edit: to be clear it is a long shot for O'Connor to win here, I am going out on a limb based on anecdotes and my gut, not really based on research or anything. Mathematically it is definitely possible, though --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...
