anyone was reading closely. Thank you for noticing! I didn't correct my typo after I found it because it was not SERIOUSLY misleading as typos go, and I had to do something else at the time. The original post has the SOS URLS, which will verify all 5 other counts as correctly posted. Editing the typo out before the DU software timed out on allowing changes in the message would have pushed all my paragraphs into one in the "Message" box, requiring me to re-paragraph everything. I decided to wait and only correct the typo if somebody asked about it. Who knows if a post is going to get lots of replies, or drop to page 20 like a stone?!

The correct number is 13,494, the difference between the total vote counted for candidates in Cuyahoga and the total number of ballots cast in Cuyahoga--or at least not discarded.

What I MEANT to post thus was:

The total number of votes cast for president statewide in Ohio was 5,625,631, according to http://serform2.sos.state.oh.us/sos/results/2004/gen/pres.htm . But the number of votes cast overall (and not discarded) statewide was 5,722,211, according to http://serform2.sos.state.oh.us/sos/results/2004/gen/voterTurn.htm This leaves a difference of 96,580.

Corresponding Cuyahoga county figures from the same webpages are 673,766, 687,260, and 13,494.
