Republican Troy Balderson claimed a razor-thin victory over Democrat Danny O’Connor in an Ohio House special election, though the Associated Press says the race is too close to call. Thousands of provisional and absentee ballots remain uncounted.
Those votes are unlikely to change the outcome, but could push the margin below 0.5%, which would trigger an automatic recount under Ohio law. The neck-and-neck contest in a district that stretches from the wealthy Columbus suburbs to rural Appalachia demonstrated the rapid political changes in the Trump era.
In other races Tuesday, the closely watched Republican gubernatorial primary in Kansas also was headed to a photo finish with Kris Kobach, the state’s secretary of state, running neck and neck with Gov. Jeff Colyer. President Trump backed Mr. Kobach.
