Knickerbocker leads Turner in Ohio 10th; AP has not called race
WHIO reported Wednesday that Democrat Christina Knickerbocker led Rep. Mike Turner by about 5,000 votes in Ohio’s 10th District after Election Day, declared victory, and that the Associated Press had not called the race.
Democrat Christina Knickerbocker led Republican Rep. Mike Turner by about 5,000 votes in Ohio’s 10th Congressional District after Tuesday’s election, WHIO reported Wednesday, and the Associated Press had not called the race1.
Knickerbocker declared victory at a watch party Tuesday night, the Dayton station said1. Turner has represented the district since 2002, serving 12 House terms and seeking a 13th, according to WHIO1.
An earlier WHIO report Wednesday morning said Knickerbocker led with 98 percent of precincts reported, according to the Associated Press. WHIO said Montgomery County votes were counted late into the night1.
WHIO quoted Knickerbocker saying voters had placed their trust in her to represent the community1. Cedarville University political science professor Kevin Sims told WHIO that Turner has influence on Capitol Hill and that Congress rewards seniority1.
Under Ohio law there is an automatic recount when a race is within half a percentage point, and WHIO said the current margin was larger than that1. Certified statewide totals were not in the reports reviewed1.
