After millions of dollars spent, a
presidential visit, and a lengthy vote certification process, Republican Troy
Balderson has become the newest congressman representing Ohio's 12th District
-- at least, for the next two months.
Balderson, a state senator from
Zanesville, beat Democrat Danny O'Connor, the Franklin County recorder, by
1,680 votes, according to final vote totals from the Aug. 7 special election
released Friday by elections officials.

UPDATE: Cleveland.com ran an editorial applauding Secretary of State's John Husted "timely demolition of fraud rumors in 12th District results." This blogger was suspicious.
