Ohio political observers still are digesting the complex preliminary results of the 18th Congressional District Republican primary, and it could be two weeks before a winner is determined.
The eight-candidate race ended in a near-tie Tuesday, with state Sen. Bob Gibbs, of Lakeville, leading 2008 nominee Fred Dailey, of Mount Vernon, by 164 votes. Jeanette Moll, of Zanesville, trailed Dailey by 867 votes.
Gibbs and Dailey anticipate a recount. The soonest this can happen is 16 days after the election, according to standards set by the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office. The eventual winner will face Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover, in November.
