Democratic challenger Victoria Wulsin said in an early morning interview with 9News on Good Morning Tri-state that she will not concede the race, and neither should Jean Schmidt until all provisional ballots are counted.

Wulsin told 9News that with seven counties in Ohio's second congressional district, every single one of the provisional ballots need to be counted in full.

She said she is particularly concerned with the vote counts in the eastern counties in the congressional district because she had strong poll results in those areas prior to Tuesday's elections.

9News contacted Jean Schmidt's office to invite the incumbent congresswoman for an interview, but that offer was declined.

Schmidt Appears To Have Won The Race

With 100% of precincts reporting from Ohio's second congressional district, Jean Schmidt appears to have 51% of the votes while challenger Victoria Wulsin appears to have 49% of the votes.

Wulsin had said earlier that she would not concede the race until all provisional ballots were counted and that she may call in an investigative team to review the election results.
