It's really too late

There is no “inner city Gahanna.” It’s not Whitehall.

I knew there was an inner city Gahanna:



or at least one near it

Bagel, please knock off the trolling. Thank you. —Mod.

I'll leave the commentary out of it (yall already know what I think) but I believe it is important and good contribution for people to see these benchmarks:

Good video on how ballots will be processed in Ohio 12th:

538 has both 2012-based and 2016-based benchmarks, which I think is a great idea since many special elections have mirrored 2012 results more closely.

It's funny to think that less than two years ago Danny did not even win the part of Franklin in Ohio 12th, and now it is his powerhouse.

You know the board mod already warned you not to troll right?

Trolling deleted.

It's at best premature to bring it up today, and given your history in this thread it sure comes across as trolling.  If Balderson wins, bring it up tomorrow.

Ok ok ok guys chill, sheesh, all I was saying is if Balderson wins what sort of issues do you think he'd like to delve into via committee and stuff, I'll wait and see what happens, just speculating.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Ok shifting back the conversation back to more relevant info for now, what are your guesses for overall county breakdown tonight? I think Franklin will be around 35% and Delaware around 27% but I don't know enough about the other counties.

Lemme try:

Early reports of average turnout in Ohio's 12th congressional district suggest dead heat for Balderson (R)

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

That's fairly realistic too, turnout is looking average to slightly high which points towards a dead heat race.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Also is Husted or any of the individual county boards reporting turnout throughout different points in the day? If so does someone have a link please?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

High turnout in Dublin:

If I recall correctly, this is a fairly blue area where Danny needs to run it up right?

Franklin County, right?

Yeah.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I know we got some other primaries today, do any of them close before this race? Cause if they do it'd be fun to have something to watch.

Franklin County, right?

Yeah.

Isn't Dublin in Delaware?

Maybe both

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

wikipedia says it is in three counties: franklin, delaware, and union

Guys, whatever happens, I want to say that I'm not very satisfied with this election. We did not try our very best and we did not get the best candidate possible. I feel like a quality candidate like Andy Ginther would be figuratively skewering Balderson on a Dagestani kabob if he was our nominee.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Despite this, I still think O'Connor has a chance, I just feel like we did not put it all on the field yall feel?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Who else is infuriated with the green party rn?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I feel like Joe Manchik is a Republican plant badum tshh.

Hey I got someone who agreed with me, regardless of outcome, I feel like we could have gotten a better candidate like ginther or that jay goypal dude. I feel like they would be ahead in the polls, and have a better operation than O'Connor.

I don't know enough about the candidates to know who might have done better here, but I do wish it hadn't waited until the last moment to get close.

I share that sentiment

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

5 mill?

Lol my perspective is skewed cuz al my friends and relatives are relatively interested in political data and elections

I dont even think a majority of people on this forum are following this race.
