Numbers + the “lost ballot box in the trunk of the Buick” for insurance. We needed to win by at least 4,000 to be clear of the fraud, and we may even lose this outright. (I’m sure some of the Franklin counts are dumps as well.)

[romanesq]

Dead heat! 85% in:

Danny O’Connor
Dem.
85,678 49.7%

Troy Balderson

If he wins, he should send the Green Canidate a thank you card.

GOPe managed to give the President a black eye.

The GOP doesn't realize it but there is no more GOP post Trump.

(Sigh) It’s over. We lost. I don’t care as much about the loss as I do about the narrative being shouted out for the next two months.

Are you kidding me???

THE CURRENT LEAD BY O'CONNOR IS EXACTLY 0.14%

And you are giving up already?

That last surge was a big O’Conner dump.

80 Delaware precincts out 12-13 Franklin.

The dems are motivated by hate.

Republicans obviously think the good news continues without the President’s congressional backing.

I’m pretty pissed off at Ohio right now. All of them.

[SpeedyInTexas]

I’m declaring Balderson the winner.

It was closer than it should have been, but its over.

[hirn_man]

Balderson has it in the bag. Quit being such a gloomy Gus.

[SE Mom]

Not over yet.

[SMGFan]

need to insert Green Party candidates throughout the country.

[edh]

Nobody lost yet ... there is still 7% of Franklin County outstanding and 48% of Delaware.

You can’t see which precincts have reported on the NYT site, so it’s hard to say where the outstanding votes will tilt.

This is going to be very close though, so expect to hear more Blue Wave (TM) crap from the media.

[Restless]

Trump won Delaware county by 16%, but Balderson is only a few percentage points ahead right now with 52% of the vote counted. We have to hope the remaining votes are heavily GOP.

THE DIFFERENCE IS 155 VOTES!

[Jane Long]

Shouldn’t even be close.

Rs should’ve run away with this...and ALL of these races.

[GOP Congress]

Yep, definitely the Ralph Nader of the 12th Ohio District.

Very true!
