High-stakes Ohio election just got closer after county finds hundreds of uncounted votes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

COLUMBUS – The tight race between Democrat Danny O'Connor and Republican Troy Balderson just got tighter.
Election officials in Franklin County found 688 previously uncounted votes in a Columbus suburb. The result: O'Connor had a net gain of 190 votes, bringing the race's margin down to 1,564.

"The votes from a portion of one voting location had not been processed into the tabulation system," according to a Franklin County Board of Elections news release.

Balderson declared victory Tuesday night in the closely watched congressional district race in central Ohio. But O'Connor says he's waiting for all votes to be counted.

That includes 3,435 provisional ballots and 5,048 absentee ballots, which will be tabulated by Aug. 24.

1. O'Conner should never concede!

We've made that mistake every time. Gore should not have conceded in 2000, Hillary should not have conceded in 2016.

Fight them to the bitter ends.

3. Agree. Look at how long it took before Al Franken was finally swore in

due to the suits filed by the loser and appeals. O'Connor can drag this out until November.

2. He won't have to concede.

By the time all the recounting is done, it just maybe November 6th.

5. Yepand then they do it all over again. Maybe so many greenies won't vote for their candidate.

But then, they probably will to hurt the Dem.

4. The same thing happened in this state

In a race between Perpetual loser Dino Rossi and Christine Gregoire for governor , Rossi was actually ahead and then we had two recounts.... they kept finding ballots here and there and finally the vote totals flipped and I think Gregoire only won by 24 votes or something..
It was hilarious.
Rossi knows better than to run Statewide he better stick to a safe Republican District ......
