Ohio Secy of State site shows a GOP lead in that special election about 55%-45%. Looked like 40K votes in. Hard to get a percentage votes in estimate because it is a special and historical numbers don’t work.
According to an article I just read that district reliably runs +10 for the Republican so it’s good news so far. There was some speculation of a Dem pickup there and the Kos kids were all atwitter over the prospect. Could you report more results as they come in?
Looks like about half of the vote is in in Ohio.
