truth-has-a-liberal-bias:zeshuetoral:truthfromlies:becauseweknowthem:OH-12 has been a reliably red district for decades. It was Gerrymandered in 2011 to be even More reliably red. Right now the race is 1700 votes apart and they are going to have to pay attention to provisional and absentee ballots to see if it forces an automatic recount. (In Ohio, anything with less than a 0.5% margin is automatically recounted) There are ~3400 provisional ballots and 5000 uncounted absentee ballots. The latter are ballots that were mailed but not received back. Anything that went in the mail before today still counts.Absentee ballots need to be received, and then counted.Provisional ballots won’t be counted for 11 days. In 2016, Tibieri beat the Democrat by 37 points. Trump carried the seat by 11 points. This should not be competitive at all. The fact that it is, will scare the hell out of any Republican incumbent in a district considered less safe than OH-12. That’s most of them. One more fun thing about this district. Because this was a special election held so late in the term, the two men will face each other again in November. Absolutely is a huge number for Democrats! This was a district that won by such huge numbers in the past. So the fact that it was this close says so much! I really think this should be a huge warning to Trump supporters. They may have won this fight, but this war is not over yet!Voting matters, make sure Republicans have no “safe” seats, no matter how gerrymandered the district! Gerrymandering is based off of historical voting data, and if a while bunch of people start voting who never voted before, it becomes much more competitive! VOTING MATTERS!! -- source link
