Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone are locked in a neck and neck battle to decide who will represent Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District in this meaningless election.
Lamb ran a campaign pretending to be a moderate and a gun supporter, much like New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand did.
The commie Daily Kos has already declared victory and congratulated Conor Lamb who appears on the verge of winning. They are calling it a huge victory in a deep red area but the fact is there are 50,000 more Democrats in the region.
After a long night of drama, the race is still too close to call. Lamb holds a slight lead over Saccone with 100% of the Election Day vote tallied, but absentee and provisional ballots are still being counted. It would be a significant uphill climb for Saccone to overtake Lamb.
Commie Conorย leads by 641 votes, over Rick Saccone with 100 percent of precincts fully reporting. Lamb declared victory about 1 a.m. but not all absentee ballots have been counted.
It’s all meaningless
This is a meaningless election because the district will soon be dissolved and the position will not exist. The Obama-Holder redistricting lawsuits make this election meaningless. They are redoing the districts in a way that favors Democrats. It will be done by November.
