The year's last special election for a House seat was too close to call Tuesday night—but that didn't stop Republicans from declaring victory in an Ohio district they've held since 1983, the Washington Post reports. GOP state Sen. Troy Balderson was 1,754 votes ahead of Danny O'Connor, a Democratic county recorder, late Tuesday, with thousands of provisional votes still uncounted. The official 12th District result could be days away, the Hill reports. Trump, who visited the state to support Balderson Saturday, tweeted that his intervention had helped Balderson win "a great victory during a very tough time of the year for voting." Whatever the final outcome of Tuesday's vote, Balderson and O'Connor will face each other again in November. In other races:
