Democrats have taken a seat from House Republicans after the counting of provisional ballots in a race in central Ohio.Unofficial results Sunday showed that Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy beat Republican Steve Stivers by more than 2,000 votes.
Provisional ballots are issued at polls to people who believe they were wrongly denied the right to vote. Kilroy had held a lead of less than 600 votes before they were counted.
This victory for the Democrats puts the composition of Congress at 256 Democrats to 177 Republicans, a 79-seat majority. The only two races that have yet to be resolved are LA-04 and VA-05, where there will likely be recounts in both districts.
