Deborah Pryce Hasn't Won Yet

It is funny how the Republicans have held the balance of Senate undecided by Allen’s wide loss, yet they are quick to jump on a win in OH-15, with over 20,000 votes still uncounted:

With 20,000 ballots still uncounted and her lead just 2,835 votes, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce yesterday declared victory over Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy in their hard-fought race for Congress.

But Kilroy and her campaign manager said Pryce is premature. They think the uncounted votes in Democratic-leaning Franklin County will be enough to overcome the deficit and send Kilroy to Congress.

In unofficial figures released late yesterday by the Franklin County Board of Elections for the entire 15 th District, the Upper Arlington Republican had 100,343 votes and Kilroy had 97,508. Pryce, a seven-term incumbent, gained her margin in Union and Madison counties.

This race doesn’t affect the balance of power in the House – that is long decided now. This is just another typical Republican wanting to make sure every vote doesn’t count. This is also a Republican who helped cover up for Mark Foley. It will be interesting to see what happens with this.
