As-yet-uncalled special election in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District:
With around 8,400 provisional and absentee votes left to be counted,
Republican Troy Balderson leads Democrat Danny O'Connor by less than 1%.
1. That’s despite Donald Trump having won the district by 11 points in 2016
2. and the House seat’s former occupant, Rep. Pat Tiberi, won by 36 points.
Danny O'Connor may not win the race in the end, but he put the fear of God in Republicans everywhere.
There will be a rematch in the midterms.
