The GOP is holding and will
continue to hold in the midterms.
Finally, we’ve arrived at the
most-anticipated day on the national political calendar before November’s
midterm elections.
The special election matchup
between Republican Troy Balderson and Democrat Danny O’Connor in the
GOP-dominated 12th Congressional District is regarded as a possible harbinger
of which party will control Congress, as well as a virtual referendum on
President Donald Trump — especially after he campaigned in the district
Saturday.
But with polls showing a very
close race, will we know who won even after Tuesday’s ballots are counted?
No one knows quite what to
expect, in large part because a competitive August congressional election is
unprecedented in recent Ohio history.
“Typically in the August
special elections, nobody turns out, but with all the hoopla, who knows?” said
Aaron Ockerman, executive director of the Ohio Association of Election
Officials.
While odds are that the
outcome will be known Tuesday night, Ockerman said, “If it’s super close, you
probably won’t see either person concede.”
