Still 66 percent. 34 percent undecided? jimfields33 Jul 2021 #6
There are 12 or 13 candidates altogether, the undecided is probably more like 10-15% tops. George II Jul 2021 #11

was over, all sewn-up, finito, nothing left but the concession speech crowning Nina winner.

Methinks they tried TOO hard to convince us. This is a horserace. And with Clyburn coming to help Shontell, I think we might elect an actual Democrat.

While Brown's have steadily risen.

That whole "give up, Nina's way ahead and going to win" narrative hasn't quite worked out, has it?

It’s really anybody’s race. Will be interesting to see how it ends.

I wish there was some way of limiting the number, but I guess that has to be allowed.

I knew Shontel's numbers would rise after more people became familiar with her after getting Hillary's, the CBC's and Clyburn's endorsements. She will be a great choice for OH. Does anyone know if Sherrod Brown has endorsed her yet?

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — House Majority Whip James Clyburn will be campaigning for Shontel Brown in Ohio the weekend before the #OH11 special election, and will be joined by several members of the Congressional Black Caucus, according to a Brown campaign spox.

....and Kyle Kulinski perhaps? She's already held a "town hall" with Uygur and Killer Mike. That's the one where Killer Mike said that Clyburn was "incredibly stupid" and Turner nodded in agreement, saying "Amen!"
