Polls close at 7:30pm ET
that is the trick...getting the GOP to turn out........I am praying
.
Moore was a fabulous candidate.
That was why they were willing to whatever to defeat him.

Funny but the Chicago burbs used to vote overwhelmingly Republican - in the 2016 election, I think every one of the collar counties, including DuPage, went for Clinton.
Meh let them. It’s talking heads crap anyway. The same people who bash bash bash bash to no avail. If we win close let them have a moral victory while I flip the bird
You are right. O’Connor led in ONE poll. It was released after I last checked the polls.
That guy is a way-left freak.
Nah, if the Democrat doesn't win, the MSM-Democrats will instantly pivot, and will declare that the Balderson vs Danny O’Connor race doesn't matter, never mattered, makes no difference, is of absolutely no use for extrapolating or predicting anything, and should never be mentioned again.
After which, the entire race, the story of the race, and everything ever said about it, will go straight into the memory hole.
Yup,I live in a suburb of a state capital.Of course the state *I* live in is about as Marxist as they come...urban,suburban or rural.Where I am at least 95% of residents are clueless,hateful Marxists.
“If the Rep does not beat the dem by the same margin Trump won it ... “
This is why the Dems throw away good money on these special elections ... they create a narrative since it’s going to be closer when they focus all resources on a single district.
On occasion, they’ll win (VA state races though that state has been trending D, AL Senate seat, PA Connor Lamb race (and Lamb ran as a Republican ... kind of like what he’s doing now in a different PA district). They use these “close” narratives and “surprise win” elections as reasons to go and beg for more money from donors.
Bottom line is don’t get all worked up if this OH seat turns into a (unlikely) loss ... however, do work to insure you drag solid votes for sanity to the polls this fall as that election is going to be ridiculously important!!! Big wins for us this fall translates into a crippled Rat party heading into 2020.
Some rookie, on the scene reporter.
They'll be the last ones to report.....gotta make sure they have enough votes if needed.
Sorry but you just can’t ignore this as a bad sign if the R loses.
what times do the polls close?
Danny O’Connor leads by 61 percentage points over Troy Balderson with less than 1 percent of precincts fully reporting.
Oh, good God - the dolt took the WEEKEND BEFORE THE ELECTION off to attend a football game out of state.
Roy Moore was and is a fool of the lowest order.
Naturally Columbus is going to tilt that favor toward the Lib.
Why do most capital cities house all the rats???
because biggest business is government
Have you wondered why they’re electing someone for a 2 month term?
