Great numbers in Ohio!
I mean, the system is so flawed that Kerry gains 40.000 votes after the final "official" tally is completed!

That challenges every notion of fairness OR ACCURACY in an electoral process.

A HAND RECOUNT MUST BE DEMANDED BY KERRY IN OHIO!

NO MANDATE FOR A CANDIDATE THAT HAS 96.000 VOTES OF ADVANTAGE AFTER STEALING AN ELECTION...

1. Wrong
It's 118,000 when it's done. Dear Lord, misinformation does not help us.

4. Already corrected...
Fraud is "misinformation," I should remind you.

ANY NUMBER coming from Ohio must be considered disputable.

2. Hmmm...
I hear that 3 counties are not tallied yet and Bush will "get" more votes than Kerry there.

Right, don't go down the "magic" 100.000 votes mark. The MSM might start wondering...

3. Sorry, you're missing the boat here...
The "official tally" was just completed last night and has Bush winning by 118K. The OH SOS website has been entering the numbers all morning and is almost complete.

The "unofficial" results from Nov 2 had Bush up 136K. The difference is due to the provisional and overseas absentee ballots (which were not included in the Nov 2 results).

5. That is still a net change of 18,000 votes
which is fairly significant.

6. No, it's not significant
It was expected. The majority of the provisionals were from urban areas (highly democratic). In fact, most people (at least in this forum) expected a much larger swing to Kerry.

The change in percentage of the total is less than 1/3 or one percent (0.00328).

8. Not really...
I have not read anybody here claiming a "miracle" was going to take place.

The Ohio vote is fundamentally flawed from the start. That's what I read here.

9. Okay, I only mention it because I still keep hearing the 136,000 number
which was mysteriously just a little bit higher than the number of provisional ballots out there - and that original number is off by at least 3900.

7. Clark, Miami and Henry counties not posted yet
So the "jumpy" posters saw the numbers last night, as I understand it, and those would give over 20.000 "extra votes" to Bush.

New correction.
