sad day for democracy;

Trick, where are you getting a figure of 200k provisional ballots in OH? I can't find that figure anywhere.

Cnn, AP, OHIO state website and News affiliates, MSNBC, Commentators on Fox, a Couple Phone Calls.....

Remember these are all projections based on Models and Exit Polls, this election is different than 2000. Its not over for anyone..

Sorry Not Ohio State Website, been looking at floridas to long tonight....

Replace Florida with Ohio, and here we go again...

I reported earlier that Susan Estrich had had a conversation with the Kerry campaign and that they were certain they would win OH. I thought then that she was nuts, still do, but maybe she was putting it out for them so the could start to set up some sort of challenge there.

Less than 100K in Ohio From CNN

NBC reporting the bush majority has dropped down to 90,000.

CNN has it at 100k as of 1:35EST (~1 min ago)

speaking of exit polls, weren't they usually spot-on accurate until the 2000 elections? i mean, ppl aren't going to lie (usually) when their anonymity is protected

Ok I just woke up to a nightmare seeing Kerry's "Army of New Patriots" running in the streets getting all republicans into concentration camps.... I was relieved to see that it seems Bush won.

Exit Polls are based on what precincts show how the entire state votes. Difference this election is alot of New Voters in the Other areas, They are Projecting the winners off Models and the Polls.

99,900 if CNN's info is good. Doesn't matter though as I can see the early morning legal fix coming into play again.

Sheesh can't the dems win anything without a lawyer?

The absentee ballots in FL favor bush by like 100,000 so they really wont make much of a difference for Kerry

MSNBC just called Ohio for Bush

If that holds, Kerry needs to win everything left open now

41% of precincts reporting
Kerry 50
Bush 49
Nader 1

of the rural counties reporting, all have gone to Bush, Carson county, where Carson City is located went Bush. Clark County, LV has 40% reporting Kerry by 18,000. This may still be in play for Bush, as some of the rural counties haven't even reported at all yet.

Seems the Republicans had good use for them in 2000 ...even had a few judges on their side.

as far as I know, about 1,000,000 of FL's absentees are still uncounted and are probably only going to be finished by the end of the week. of course, im only limited to the information im being presented by the media available...

OH margin changing minute by minute.
101k as of 1:39EST

Let me guess, headed to OH. I don't remember seeing any reports of irregularity in OH. Plenty in PA, but not OH. Anyone have any?

Even if he does win everything left, it'll just be a tie.
