8. He was/is closing the small gap --

But no idea if there are enough votes left to make up the difference plus 1. Still has to be unnerving for the Republicans since tRump won it by 11 points.

Too close to call at the moment. Resisting the urge to gnaw my nails.

15. Just a question

If the race is close, really close, what are the chances that Balderson refuses to concede ? Is he that kind of person ?

We're going to see races, especially in November, where republicans lose seats that they have traditionally held, and losers then refuse to concede to the democrat that beat them.
