Needed: Names of candidates in these races. 
The types of voting systems used in these races.
Returns as they come in on election night and any early
voting results.

As you can see most of these races are very close and
will require extra attention so that any *funny* numbers can
be found out.

Your assistance is required. Thank you

1. 1 is Cranley, 2 is Wulsin

Both should be Hart Intercivic Optiscan, but 2 is a lot more counties

2. about OH 6, 15 & 18

6th is Ted's seat - Charlie Wilson (D) vs Charles Blasdel (R)

15th is near columbus - Deborah Pryce (R) vs Mary Jo Kilroy (D) - Pryce is the #4 republican in the house, in danger of not returning.

18th is Bob Ney's seat - Zack Space (D) vs Joy Padgett (R) - over 3 mil sunk into ads against space.


As far as I know, 15th is only one in "TOSS-up" column. Get candidate info on any race here :

7. Actually 15th covers about

half of Columbus, plus several very red counties to the west. It's courtesy of repub gerrymandering. They split the blue city of Columbus down the middle and hook it onto several suburban and exurban counties outside the city. Obvious what they are up to. I live in downtown Columbus and I'm only a couple blocks from the 15th's eastern edge.

6. Final w/fraud

Look at the Nov. 7, column for the expected result based on the pre-election polls. The Final w/fraud is the Nov. 7, column with the change that can be expected if fraud is used to steal votes.
