Ohio Special Election: Democrat Turnout 87% of 2016 Total — GOP Turnout Only 40% of 2016 Total
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft August 7, 2018

Voters in Ohio’s 12th district chose a replacement for the former Republican Representative Pat Tiberi in a special election on Tuesday.

Republican Troy Balderson ran against Democrat Danny O’Connor in the US congressional race.

Republican Patrick Tiberi defeated Democrat Ed Albertson in the 2016 general election 66% to 30% with 251,266 votes to 113,000 votes.

excerpt;

On Tuesday Troy Balderson defeated Democrat Danny O’Connor by less than 1% of the vote.

Balderson had 100,052 votes compared to Tiberi’s 251,266 votes in 2016 or 40% of the 2016 turnout.

Danny O’Connor had 98,364 votes on Tuesday compared to 112,638 votes received by Democrat Ed Albertson in 2016 or 87% of the 2016 Turnout.

This should concern Republican party leaders.
The GOP to do a better job or Trump is going to face a Democrat Congress ready to impeach him in 2019.

Gosh. They hold a special election in the middle of summer when most normal people are on vacation and doing fun things and they are concerned the normal people didn't show up? What a load of shit.

Though  we can't compare registration numbers to see how many Dems there are now v. '16, we can still say that the Dems have peaked their vote while the GOP's numbers are pretty tepid.

Which means they'll be killed in the general.

Kasich is term-limited out of office in January. I hope DeWine, if he wins, is better.

Still the Republican won. Go figure.

(Unless the Democrat does an Al Franken and overturns the results due to recount ).

So, in Ohio, the Republican won but a razor thin margin it sounds like and due to that low voter turnout, ouch.

Quote
The enthusiasm among Democrats meant that Republicans needed everything they had in an Ohio special election in a district that Donald Trump carried by more than 10 points. Republicans struggled to pull ahead by even one percentage point, despite a rally by Trump, a visit by Mike Pence, $3.5 million from Paul Ryan’s super PAC, and two Republican National Committee field offices. With provisional ballots still to be counted, the race is too close to call.

For all of the money spent, the winner, whether it’s Republican Troy Balderson or Democrat Dan O’Connor, will serve just 19 legislative days between now and the November election.

Again, showing how important voter turnout is.

Maybe more people come here to participate during the election years and this is reflected too, in voter turnout.

There are around 8K absentees/provisionals to be counted. O'Connor would have to win them 5K to 3K just to pull even, which I'm not expecting. I'm not sure the exact threshhold needed for a recount, but I think Ohio's number is pretty small.

Yup and Paul RINO and Mitch RINO are doing everything they can to depress GOP voter turn out
for the midterms. Build the Wall!

And let me guess... most of the leftist voter fraud occurs using these "absentees/provisionals" ballots.

Swell.

Right now the margin is 2K votes. It will have to narrow significantly before a recount would make that a possibility. Let's hope it doesn't.

Took a look at the district and see it has a good chunk of the the Columbs burbs. Columbus is the capitol and home to OSU - meaning like N. Virginia there are a whole ton of liberal bureacrats and professors that are easy to organize to get out to vote for a special.

Which again does not look good for the Dems in the general.

Ohio Special Election: Democrat Turnout 87% of 2016 Total — GOP Turnout Only 40% of 2016 Total
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft August 7, 2018

Voters in Ohio’s 12th district chose a replacement for the former Republican Representative Pat Tiberi in a special election on Tuesday.

Republican Troy Balderson ran against Democrat Danny O’Connor in the US congressional race.


The poor GOP turnout for Balderson may have been largely due to the fact that Balderson had reportedly tried to distance himself from Trump (initially, at least), and only pretty aggressive endorsements of Balderson by the White House saved his bacon.  If those reports are correct, I would assume that a lot of GOPers still did not like Balderson's waffling RE:  our POTUS.

On the flip side, there is perhaps another (and completely opposite) reason for the poor GOP turnout:  There really are a lot of GOPers who do think Trump is "non-Presidential" and therefore cannot get enthused about voting for a Republican when it's Trump's political life that is at stake in the District election.  These are the folks that Balderson may have been initially trying to woo (again, if the initial reports from the campaign are correct), but it backfired to the point that the NeverTrumpers just stayed home when the White House endorsed Balderson. 

I think the rhetorical math (the election outcome) suggests that all GOP candidates this year need to go ALL IN for Trump.  Dan Bongino recently said on Levin's show that we need to have a meme #IDon'tCare (regarding Trump's past sins and present crassness).  This is the only way to clear the decks for a battle in which we hit the libs HARD AS POSSIBLE.  #IDon'tCare will change the narrative from Trump's "non-Presidential" image to the fact of the WAR against lying, anti-American Progressives.  (Go see D'Souza's latest movie, The Death of a Nation.  Tell everyone you know to see it, and tell them to tell everyone they know.)

The #IDon'tCare meme will enthuse Trump supporters for high turnout among them, and it will get a lot of NeverTrumpers off their butts.  (I wish the NeverTrumpers would figure out what Trump is doing through Q, by the way.) 

Yeah, I declared myself as a NeverTrumper when he was running against a much better man.  But since he is now our POTUS, and trying to do what is needed to protect our Republic against the Deep State (yeah I am a Q follower!), I will be as supportive as possible.  In other words, right now #IDon'tCare.

That's brilliant.  I love "I Don't Care" as the GOP campaign slogan.  It's perfect.

So get rolling those sleeves up.  You have to do this same election in 3 months.

I like Levin quite a lot, and he is probably important for the Republic over the long haul, but I very much prefer Bongino's content and flair over Levin's at this time.

Yep, #IDon'tCare.  Spread it around!    (While you're at it, plug D'Souza's movie The Death of a Nation.)

Everybody has problems
And personally, I don't care."
