BALDERSON IN LEAD

[edh]

“Better numbers person help me out here....?”

I’m not an expert and have made bad calls before (not horrendous, but bad :-) ).

A LOT of the outstanding votes to come in from Richland, Licking, and Delaware counties should tilt heavily to the good guys. I can’t see what areas of Franklin haven’t reported yet.

[fortheDeclaration]

From what I gather, the heavy Democrat voter areas have already been counted, and the biggest GOP one hasn’t.

Hold up we have the lead???

[nutmeg]

Geesh, I didn’t even realize there was a third guy running...

[GRRRRR]

Now stick the landing!!

[FreeReign]

Looking at the NYT breakdown by precinct... I don’t see the votes being there.....:( Better numbers person help me out here....?

Populous pro Trump Deleware county just starting to come in. Perhaps that will give it to Balderson.

[SamAdams76]

Balderson now down just 3,967 with 54% in.

Strongest GOP area (Delaware county) still out.

[11th_VA]

Now it’s getting real !!!

THUMBS UP

[robowombat]

Unfortunately yes. But this is a real attrition thing. Even people that start out pretty strong conservatives start being ‘pulled to the center’ by the magnetic appeal of dollars and the scarcely less important appeal to their egos to be ‘respected’ by the ‘important people’. For every Louis Gomert who just despises the establishment and spits in their eye at every opportunity their are 2/3 Steve Scalises’s who desperately want to ‘grow’.

[rodguy911]

Gonna go right down to the wire.

[SMGFan]

less than 1000 will vote for Joe Manchik GP . Would have been Democrats votes ?
