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

[Pandaguineapig]

O'Connor could hurt himself for the general of he keeps up this sore-loser schtick, Balderson probably will also be helped by having turnout at normal levels in November

I mean, nobody has actually called the race. We have thousands of uncounted votes, and they'll remain uncounted till the 18th. And since this race has been decided by less than 1600 votes, its a reasonable idea to wait for the absentee and provisional votes to be tallied. If the margin does get below .5, the state will step in and pay for a recount.

You do realize the odds of the absentees being so lopsided that O'Connor wins are basically nil, right? It would probably be wiser for him to spend his money on November rather than on challenging the results. On the other hand he might realize that he has lost but understands he can raise large amounts of money from resistance idiots who are still in denial, kind of like the Stein recount

Nah. If the election's called and there's no margin for an auto recount, expect him to concede quickly.

If the margin's under .5%, though, he'll let the recount go through. As would literally anyone in that position.

Even if you're right, I think it's likely he milks this for everything he can get, if the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections show is anything it's that much of his base doesn't take losing with grace.

Lmao. I remember Romney's campaign whining when all the networks called Ohio for Obama when it was clear Obama would win Ohio.

Eh at least they didn't riot and destroy buildings when they lost, Yes republicans didn't exactly celebrate when Obama won in 2008 or 2012 but let's be real; Al Gore still refuses to admit that he lost Florida in 2000, Democrats in the house tried to have electoral votes from Ohio thrown out for no real reason, and, in addition to rioting when they lost the 2016 election, thousands of #resistance half-wits (who now probably look under there beds for Russians when they go to sleep every night) gave millions to a woman who very well may be a Russian asset for a hopeless recount.

O'Connor still refusing to concede strengthens my belief that he is milking this for all the resistance bucks he can get before they find a new shiny object
