NEWARK — There never was any clear leader in the eight-way 18th Congressional District Republican primary, and that remained true early today.
As the night wore on, a recount seemed imminent. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, state Sen. Bob Gibbs, of Lakeville, led Fred Dailey, of Mount Vernon, by 170 votes.
Jeanette Moll trailed 860 votes behind Dailey and said she had no plans to throw in the towel.
According to Ohio law, votes must be recounted if the winner leads by a half percent or less. In this case, that would mean about 250 votes.
