OH-12 Special Election: Balderson vs. O’Connor on August 7

[Pyro]

Remember that this is was won by the GOP with a margin of 37 points in 2016.

This cannot be emphasized enough. This is exceptional news for the Democrats.

[Zaybay]

Based on whats left, they seem D leaning, but Im not so sure.

[Politician]

Get ready for the "BLUE WAVE DEAD, RED WAVE RISING?" headlines in the morning.

If Balderson wins.

[Suburbia]

Isn't the Franklin County suburbs affluent?

What about the other counties?

[Mr. Illini]

If only DelCo had a nice map of what is in vs out like Franklin

[Chief Justice Keef]

Can't wait for the inevitable "did Alex Jones getting banned from social media help Balderson" takes that we'll see tomorrow. Just drench me in trash.

[ajc0918]

Baldy wins by less than Green margin vote.

[IceSpear]

There is no fundamental difference for November if Balderson wins by 1 point or O'Connor wins by 1 point. The fact that this is a nail biter is terrible news for the GOP in and of itself.

[john cage bubblegum]

Basically, this race is going to be a < 0.5% margin either way.  That's yet another terrible result for Republicans in a district that shouldn't be competitive.

It'll be slightly disappointing if Balderson ekes it out, but Dems should take this as another very positive sign re: the national environment come November.

Correct but a win is better.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

OConner is right where he needs to be to pull off the upset.

[Xing]

Honestly, we might not have a winner until absentee ballots are counted.

[Mr. Illini]

Yet, the impact it will have on momentum is notable

[ProudModerate2]

They are almost even.
I have a feeling Balderson is going to win (but barely).

[ajc0918]

REMEMBER: Provisional ballots lean D and there pay be ~9000 of them says Michael McDonald.

[Adam Griffin]

Balderson pulls ahead:

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

lmao if the Green candidate ends up deciding it for Balderson

We will never hear the end of it lol!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

IDK. Whenever it's this close, I can't conjure a feeling because it could genuinely go either way and data can't predict it.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Balderson back in the lead on a bunch of Delaware precincts.

[NOVA Green]

Updated map of precincts reporting in Franklin County....

(17) precincts to go where are they, how large are they, and what will final raw vote margins be???

[Antonio the Sixth]

Balderson leads by over 1000. It's over.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Massive Balderson surge

[Nyvin]

Balderson leading again,   54 Delaware precincts and 13 Franklin precincts to go.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Balderson leads by over 1000. It's over.

We've heard you say "It's over" like fifteen times.
