On Tuesday Troy Balderson defeated Democrat Danny O’Connor by less than 1% of the vote.

Balderson had 100,052 votes compared to Tiberi’s 251,266 votes in 2016 or 40% of the 2016 turnout.

Danny O’Connor had 98,364 votes on Tuesday compared to 112,638 votes received by Democrat Ed Albertson in 2016 or 87% of the 2016 Turnout.

This should concern Republican party leaders. The GOP to do a better job or Trump is going to face a Democrat Congress ready to impeach him in 2019.

I’m just reporting what people on the ground in OH were hearing from their call bank people.

“A Republican district, yes, but Kasich, Tiberi, Balderson aren’t cut from the cloth we need. I heard a caller on a.m. talk radio this morning say that Trump got him to come out and vote. He was mad at Tiberi for voting against Obamacare repeal and almost didn’t vote for Balderson...”

Seem lilke this is a recurring theme. We get a replacement that will not help Trump. I get it that he had to pull this turd Balderson over the finish line because a tenth of a loaf is better than no bread at all, but we need to have a new candidate ready for November. There will not be enough time to see if Balderson is any good, and we need better for the next two years!

I’m sure you noticed that they conveniently found more votes with a majority of those going to the Dim candidate and then they found more.-—no, no vote fraud, none at all.

Yes they found a few hundred, probably fraudulent votes. But Balderson had 151,000 fewer votes total, which isn’t fraud, it is stupid lazy republicans. You can obsess all you want about a few hundred votes, but it is the the hundred thousand votes that are at issue, and have nothing to do with fraud.
