MSNBC: Ohio-12 Special Election Too Close to Call

‘This morning, Balderson is claiming victory’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "The closely watched special election in Ohio is this morning too close to call. That’s according to NBC News. You heard at the top, Republican Troy Balderson and Democrat Danny O’Connor speaking last night, with Balderson currently leading O’Connor by less than 1 percent of all votes cast. That’s 1,754 votes ahead in a district that has been in GOP hands for three decades. The official outcome may not be known until other 3,400 ballots are tallied in the coming weeks and the race could be headed to a recount if the candidates end up within 1/2 percent of each other after the final results are certified. This morning, Troy Balderson is claiming victory, but Danny O’Connor has not conceded. And regardless of the outcome, we’ll see a rematch between these two come November when they compete for full term in Congress."
