Troy Balderson vs. Danny O’Connor: LIVE Ohio special election results
Conservative Review ^ | August 7, 2018 | staff

Posted on 08/07/2018 5:19:58 PM PDT by Governor Dinwiddie

Tonight, the Ohio special election widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump reaches its conclusion.

Republican Troy Balderson is running with Trump’s endorsement in a district the president won by 11 points in 2016. He’s running for a seat that has been held by a Republican since 1983, but his Democratic opponent, Danny O’Connor, is running surprisingly close to him. He’s a moderate Republican who supports a pathway to citizenship for so-called “Dreamers” and wants any Obamacare replacement to include pre-existing conditions regulations.

O’Connor has positioned himself as a moderate Democrat, pledging that if elected he would not vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House. Recent polling has the race in a statistical tie.

If the O’Connor wins, or if Balderson wins narrowly, the media narrative will be that Trump is no king-maker and he can’t save the Republican Party from an oncoming blue wave in November.

I didn’t realize Balderson was such a tool until I read his ideas on immigration and health care. He’s a Republican???

Balderson should catch him, but regardless it will be hailed as a dem victory.

Did Balderson bad-rap Franklin County voters ?

Very close, still behind but the difference is now a trivial 150 votes. What matters is which precincts remain and how large a margin of fraud we have to defeat.

Would you know which precincts are left to report?

Used to know a site that had this info during the Alabama senate election but forgot where it was.

Arrrrrgggh!

“is running surprisingly close to him.”

Oh, do they mean like the exit polls of November 2016? ;-)

Friggin’ polls are a joke.

O'Connor is up about 201 votes but only one percent of the vote remains from Franklin county (where is winning with 65% of the vote).

About 20,000 votes remain from Delaware county were Balderson is winning with 53.5% of the vote.

It looks good for Balderson to pull out a victory.

I would blame the GOP establishment. Raising a lot of money, but doing nothing with it.
