A special election for an open U.S. House seat in Ohio that was viewed as a referendum on President Trump remains too close to call. 

With 100 percent of early and Election Day ballots counted, Republican Tony Balderson led Democrat Danny O’Connor by 1,766 votes, or 0.9 percent, but provisional ballots had yet to be counted. Green Party candidate Joe Manchik received 1,120 votes. If the race is within 0.5 percent, Ohio requires an automatic recount of the votes.

Though news organizations held off from making a call in the race, Trump wasted little time in declaring Balderson the winner and took his share of the credit.
