12th Congressional District: New vote totals show O’Connor faces steeper climb [Ohio]
Columbus Dispatch ^ | August 15, 2018 | Darrel Rowland

Central Ohioans have seen no lack of spin in the 12th Congressional District special election for the past several weeks, but the hard reality of math is finally making a winner all but certain.

Bottom line: Republican Troy Balderson will prevail in the multimillion-dollar struggle unless Democrat Danny O’Connor takes a stunning share of the remaining uncounted votes.

The O’Connor camp estimates roughly 3,000 ballots will be left to tabulate when county elections board begin their official count. Even if O’Connor gets a whopping 75 percent of those remaining 3,000 ballots, he would gain only 2,250 votes. That wouldn’t be quite enough. Balderson’s 25 percent of the 3,000 uncounted ballots would add 750 votes to his 1,534-vote lead, for a total of 2,284 — 34 ahead of the Democrat.

They're saying 3,000 uncounted votes. I read elsewhere the number was 8,000. Counting is August 18.

Of course, all O’Connor really needs is to cut the lead a bit to get to an automatic recount. Once the recount is on, odds suddenly favor the Democrat.

I’m sure they may have already used some. I fully expect the Dems to be cheating their asses off this election cycle. Even more than usual.

After those guys boasted to Project Veritas about cheating and collusion I’m hoping people are watching close enough that some get caught. Be nice to have them caught red handed bussing in voters or what have you for a change.
