Adjusting numbers today:\xa0 In Tuesday's bellwether OH-12 special Congressional election, newly-discovered tabulation errors have narrowed the lead of GOP candidate Troy Balderson over Democrat Danny O'Connor to 0.8 points.

Jeff Colyer for the GOP gubernatorial nomination saw its margin cut in half from 191 votes to just 91, out of some 311,000 cast, after what appears to be a typo by the Sec. of State's office on Tuesday night \u2013 with some 10,000 provisional and late mail-in ballots still to be counted.

Brendan Fischer, Associate Counsel at the Washington D.C.'s Campaign Legal Center (CLC) explains several important developments in campaign finance law, from the Trump Treasury Department's announcement it will no longer require "Dark Money" groups to disclose the names of their donors to the IRS, to a federal judge's order to the Federal Election Commission to rewrite rules requiring those same groups to disclose donors' names. The court ruling could be very good news indeed for those who believe in transparency and public oversight of electioneering. Fischer also explains the CLC's newly-filed complaint with the FEC alleging unlawful coordination between the campaigns of four different Republican U.S. Senators and the National Rifle Association (NRA)'s political action committee.
