OH-5 Official Results Thread

[bluestateguy]

Polls are now closed in the special election to fill the late Paul Gillmor's (R-OH 5th) House seat.

I figured I'd open an official results thread if someone else has not done so already.

[liberalnurse]

8. Soooooooo many folks are not paying any attention.

Phone banking was challenging!

[OzarkDem]

9. Special elections = low turnout

crappy weather also doesn't help.

Looks VERY promising so far. Please, please, please, O Lord, I beseech thee. Let another Dem Congresscritter get elected from Ohio!!!

[DemKR]

6. My apologies, it says POINT 32% (.32%), Sorry!

[liberalnurse]

7. Thank You!

I have a call into a friend who is with Robin and the gang tonight. I didn't get to go up to the Toledo area because I had to manage the Clinic today. DANG!

So, I wait on pins and needled!:kick:

[AlCzervik]

11. is that a really low turnout or a tiny district or both?

[DemKR]

12. Sorry to create a stir, like I said it was point 32% (i.e. less than 1% reporting-makes sense nowlol

[AlCzervik]

13. to quote Emily Litella "Never mind"

[bluestateguy]

14. The precinct appears to be from Ashland County

nt

[bluestateguy]

15. If Weirauch does not poll well in Wood and Sandusky Counties she's done

Wood has Bowling Green, a college town. She'll need those votes.

Also, Sandusky County was "only" 56% for Bush in 2004.

This is a hell of a tough district.

[bluestateguy]

16. Latta: 5,903, Weirauch: 4,603

10.84% of precincts in.

Results partially in from Senaca, Crawford and Ashland counties.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Looks like the repuke is going to win. They don't show the % of votes reported?

[DemKR]

20. And yet again

The right wins by fear mongering against
"them illegals." :banghead:

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Honestly, I cannot imagine that there would be one freakin' person left in this country that would

actually vote REPUKE. How stupid can they be? At this point, they deserve everything they get....or don't get for putting another repuke in power. Idiots.:banghead:

[Blue Diadem]

23. yep, they're pretty damn stupid and I have to live in the midst of the morons. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. I'm so sorry. I live in a BLUE State surrounded by them! I KNOW how you feel.

During the Obama/Alan Keyes Senate race here, my street was lined with Keyes signs!:banghead: They never fail to live up to my expectations of them...

[Blue Diadem]

25. Thank you. I just ran out in the rain and took down Robin's sign,

before some moron comes along and destroys it like they've done before.



:hug: It's rough living among them.

[bluestateguy]

26. Trust me there is a lot more than one left

There is a great big world out there outside of DU, the coffeehouses in Berkeley, the BosWash corridor, and the Fantasyland that is LA.

[JackBeck]

27. Well, looks like it's over.

On the positive side, the NRCC poured over $400,000 into this election, a fifth of all monies they have on hand.

[OzarkDem]

28. Crap

I guess the voters in NW Ohio haven't suffered enough.
