With the official vote tally unpublished and the liberal candidate refusing to concede, Democrats are already blaming a host of external factors for an apparent defeat in Tuesday’s Ohio special election; claiming Russia and the Green Party led to the GOP victory.

Liberals and left-leaning supporters across the country took to Twitter to slam the Kremlin and the third-party candidate just hours after Trump-backed Troy Balderson declared a narrow victory over Democrat Danny O’Connor.

You know what sucks? Because of our unwillingness to pass policy that protects our election integrity, I immediately think the Green Party votes tonight are Russian meddling. Why else would anyone cast a protest vote in Ohio when there’s so much at stake?#OH12 — Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) August 8, 2018

“Hi. I’m a Green Party voter. I love the environment so damn much I keep accidentally electing climate-change deniers who are owned by the fossil fuel industry. Do I get a cookie now for being a nonconformist?” — Adam Best (@adamcbest) August 8, 2018

The President hailed Balderson’s special election victory on social media Tuesday night, saying he will “win big” when he defends his House seat this November.
