You can bet that at least 90% of those newly found ballots are marked for the Democrat.

Count is in I believe but only less than 200 for the Dem. It’s not going to offset all the absentees and provisionals from the mostly Republican areas.
Everyone sit back and relax.
Umm...could be. Let’s do the math:
From the article:
“Prior to the discovery, Republican Troy Balderson led Democrat Danny O’Connor by more than 1,700 votes. With the 588 votes included, the margin narrows to 1,564, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.”
1700 - 1564 = 136 votes
588/2 = 294 (50/50 split would produce no change in the lead)
294 + 136 = 430
430/588 = 0.7312 or 73%
Not 90% but just shy of 3/4ths of the votes were for O”Conner. How does this square with historic voting patterns for this precinct?
Not much of a change if this was the final tally.
BUT...
Will the race now be close enough to trigger an automatic recount? That may be what the Democrats are angling for: recount all the ballots so they can “discover” even more uncounted votes for their candidate.
