Election officials in Ohio found 588 uncounted votes Wednesday in a suburb of Columbus, county officials said.
After counting the ballots, Republican Troy Balderson received 198 votes; Democrat Danny O’Connor got 388 votes; and Joe Manchik, 2 votes. Thus, O’Connor gained 190 on Balderson, who currently leads by 1,564 votes in the close race.
“The votes from a portion of one voting location had not been processed into the tabulation system,” officials explained. “Election night results are tabulated through the use of a device called a master PEB that is returned to the Board along with flash drives from each machine. The Griswold Center voting location had two master PEB’s, only one of which was read and processed into the tabulation system on Election Night. The additional votes identified during this preliminary audit will be reflected in the final official results certified by the Board of Elections on August 24th.”
While Balderson declared victory Tuesday night, O’Connor said in a tweet celebrating Wednesday's discovery that he is holding out for all votes to be counted.
?? 6:05 PM UPDATE ??
We just netted 190 VOTES from Franklin County!
We're confident DANNY WILL WIN once ALL the votes are counted, but we spent EVERYTHING we had on the Special Election.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, 3,435 provisional ballots and 5,048 absentee ballots will be counted by the August 24 deadline.
A ‘Rat classic vote fraud gimmick.
Sounds just like something that happened to propel Lyndon Baines Johnson into the US Senate.
Their playbook has only one play in it: CHEAT!..................
TYPICAL, smh
Here’s hoping this time they were being watched. It would be nice to nail their sorry asses to the wall for a change.
So blatant and will the GOP fight this or just smile cooperatively?
THIS kind of stuff is how Al Franken made it into the US Senate. Boxes of votes “found” in somebody’s car.
And Al Gore (almost), Al Franken, et al...
Gee let me guess. All votes for Democrats.
Kaseofitch is smiling.................................
Dem Scam.
Pubbies better make a plan for November or they’re going to lose bigtime.
Majority, yes............
I find it funny how this ALWAYS happens in districts that lean to Democrats.
They NEVER FIND Republican ballots in huge numbers..........ODD..
and the Dem will get 99% of the 8400 votes
Election officials in Ohio found 588 uncounted votes
The corrupt dims will continue to “ find more votes” until they manipulate the election enough to win. Disgraceful.
Sounds like Broward County Fl...
Maybe their will be rush of misplaced absentee ballots found in an in basket as well.
Only Fraknlin County would statistically produce that count. If these votes are not from Franklin, they’re fraudulent.
