Democrats get 53rd seat in state House

State House Democrats picked up their 53rd seat on Sunday when the final count ended for the 19th state House district outside of Columbus.

Democrat Marian Harris defeated Franklin County Coroner Brad Lewis by 735 votes. Previously her lead was just 40 votes. 

The Franklin County Board of Elections finished counting provisional and overseas absentee ballots following the Ohio Supreme Court's decision Friday that tossed 1,000 provisional ballots.
