I'm not crying in my beer over a loss that close in that district.

I'm also not calling for this, but I legit don't know, can you ask for a recount for a congressional district based on it being closer than a percent of a loss? Or is that something only state wide or national elections allow for?

automatic recount is triggered in OH-12 at 0.5% or less margin

Looks like my new Ohio district is just as dumb as the one I left in Texas.

Yeah it's been sending overwhelmingly Republican delegations to Congress since 1980 and redistricting has only cemented that. the last guy won by 37% over his D opponent. Lol at Balderson squeaking by with 1000 voters.

160K Republicans that voted in 2016 didn't show up today, versus 70K Ds that didn't show up.

The fact that R national leadership have to worry about this district is great news for D prospects in Nov.

The Republicans needing the Green Party jokers to win a formerly super safe district in fuckin' Ohio isn't as good as a Democratic win there, but I'll still point and laugh.

Bernie and AOC campaigned for Abdul because they thought the polling was full of poo poo, the polling was in fact full of poo poo, just not enough to actually carry him. That doesn't mean it was wrong to campaign there though.

I don't think you understand, the Democrats deserve those votes. Now, yes, they've done literally nothing to earn them and actively and openly despise those voters, but gently caress you vote Democrat

Everything I can find about Whitmer indicates that she's a standard left-of-center liberal who loooves her some health insurance

She's not as bad as Carper or anything like that, but I don't know how she'll fare against Schuette. I do expect her to pick up a large majority of women's votes in November, though.
