U2Kitten said:Ohio is going to be a mess. I heard on the radio this morning there were people in line until 2 AM, then there's almost 200,000 absentee and other ballots to count. I don't see we have a conclusion for at least the 10 days it will take until they can count them.
But one thing is for sure, the entire country obviously doesn't hate Bush as much as the people on this forum do.

Ohio official: Count could take 11 days

While Blackwell said the exact number of provisional ballots was unknown, he said it is "trending toward 175,000."
"We will not know, and nobody knows how many provisional ballots we have had cast until all of the tabulations have come in from across the state," he said.
On absentee ballots, Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo said the secretary of state's office will not know how many were returned until after the election, when county election officials send in their numbers.

Florida official: Absentee count may last days
Florida voters cast an "incredible number" of absentee ballots in Tuesday's presidential election, and counting them may take until Thursday, Secretary of State Glenda Hood said Tuesday night.
Hood said only about 30,000 of the 94,000 absentee ballots received in heavily Democratic Miami-Dade County had been counted, and officials were pulling in "extra staff" to complete the count by noon Thursday, the deadline by which counties must complete the unofficial canvass of all votes.
Broward County, north of Miami and also heavily Democratic, had 92,000 absentee ballots requested, Hood said, but the count of the ballots that were returned may be completed overnight.
Palm Beach County began counting its absentee ballots Friday. In that county, 70,000 absentee ballots were received, Hood said.

IN BRIEF / NORTH CAROLINA
Thousands of Votes Lost Due to Human Error
From Times Wire Reports
November 5, 2004
More than 4,500 votes have been lost in one North Carolina county because officials believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did.
Officials in Jacksonville said UniLect Corp., the maker of Carteret County's electronic voting system, told them that each storage unit could handle 10,500 votes, but the limit was 3,005.
Expecting the greater capacity, the county used only one unit during the early voting period. "If we had known, we would have had the units to handle the votes," said Sue Verdon, secretary of the county election board.
