With what appear to be early/absentee votes reporting in the special election for Ohio’s 15th District, Republican Mike Carey leads Democrat Allison Russo 54 percent to 46 percent. With Election Day votes likely to skew Republican, it looks like Carey has this sewn up — but of course, that was expected in this R+19 district. The margin, though, will be yet another data point to throw in the mix as to whether tonight’s results were a good omen for Republicans or Democrats.
