OHIO COUNTIES END OFFICIAL BALLOT COUNTS (GUESS WHAT?? BUSH WON!! DUHHHH!)

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ohio counties finished certifying votes in the presidential race Wednesday, and the results showed that election officials accepted about 77 percent of the provisional ballots that were cast.

Ohio's 88 counties reported validating 121,598 provisional ballots from 156,977 checked, according to an Associated Press tabulation. The deadline for counties to certify election results was Wednesday.

Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell plans to certify the final result Monday.

President Bush's margin of victory against John Kerry on Nov. 2 was 136,483 votes. Kerry conceded after figuring he would not get enough of the provisional ballot vote to overtake Bush's total.

Provisional ballots are used when poll workers cannot immediately confirm if a voter was properly registered.

Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for Blackwell's office, said there will be no available breakdown of how many provisionals went to Bush or Kerry. He said the final tally will be inclusive of all votes.

Meanwhile, a lawyer representing at least 25 voters who feel their right to vote was violated said he would file a lawsuit Thursday directly to the Ohio Supreme Court. Cliff Arnebeck said the case will seek to document that election abuses in Ohio were widespread.

BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAA!

[RockinRight]

Ya mean Bush won? Really? Are you sure?

Only 25 people? Are they part of Jessie Jackson's Shakedown crew?

[You Dirty Rats]

Memo to Cliff: This isn't Florida. We have a Law-abiding Supreme Court in Ohio. Enjoy your fifteen minutes, if it even lasts that long.

[areafiftyone]

I am wondering if the DUmmies will even get their recount.

[VRWCTexan]

Quick - tune in to C_BS to see if Dan will now call Ohio for "W".

[gopwinsin04]

What would be hilarious to watch is for Blackwell to certify next Friday and watch the Dims try and recount in half a day..

[BigSkyFreeper]

Too bad Brokaw retired yesterday. He won't get the honor of calling Ohio for Bush. /sarcasm off

[TheBigB]

FLASH: Dan Rather calls Ohio for Al Gore!

OHIO COUNTIES END OFFICIAL BALLOT COUNTS -- BUSH WON!!

DU and RATS on suicide watch

[CaptSkip]

These people would be sad and pitiful if they weren't so dangerous.

Some of the Rabid at DU want new efforts of futility: Contact and Change Republican Electors Votes.

New target acquired; Republican Electors.

Friends,

I propose that we need to prepare lists of all Republican electors in the nation for the purpose of contacting them directly to convince them to change their vote to Kerry.

We'd need; Name, home address, phone number, FAX number, and email address for as many Republican electors as we can find.

We should also prepare contact materials so that people will have an idea of what arguments might work with a Republican. I think we should impress upon them that their future safety depends on a Kerry victory, as Bush has mismanaged things to the point of making us all less safe daily.

[areafiftyone]

The Greens and Libertarians are suing for a recount but Bush won by at least 130,000 votes and the margin of loss for a recount is one quarter of 1 percent so it looks like NO RECOUNT in OHIO!!

[RushCrush]

I'm taking this to mean that I can gloat. Again.

[areafiftyone]

Its fun to gloat twice isn't it? ;-)

Office Candidate Party Votes % Of Votes

Bush, George W. Republican 1,982,872 54.56%

Zych, Thomas F.-WI 7 0.00%
Harris, James -WI 2 0.00%
Parker, John T.-WI 0 0.00%
Total Votes 3,634,234


Between Bush and Kerry stand 348,539 votes cast! Logic tell you that many votes cannot be found in a recount!

I love the fact that the Secy of State is not going to
itemize the provisionals. Let 'em pay to see for themselves!

[rollo tomasi]

Those people just have to be 1st graders taking a computer class. I am amazed at their ignorance, stupidity, lack of reality, every psychosis known to mankind, etc... that plagues them.

[Taliesan]

We should also prepare contact materials so that people will have an idea of what arguments might work with a Republican. I think we should impress upon them that their future safety depends on a Kerry victory, as Bush has mismanaged things to the point of making us all less safe daily.

These people are on drugs. How pitiful.

[TNCMAXQ]

Actually Brokaw did get to project Ohio for Bush early on the morning of Nov 3, when NBC joined Fox in calling the state. I will never forget his words: "This race is essentially over" as NBC gave Ohio to Bush. :) At that point he had 269 electorals.

ROFLMAO

Oh too funny

I do not see the posted on DU. poor babies

[TNCMAXQ]

I'm a little confused though. How can they not have a breakdown of how the provisionals went when all the counties released their numbers, at least as reported by that Ohio Vote Suppression site? Can't the SOS office just count all those numbers and give a total vote tally?

In any case, it looks as if the good guys won by about 120,000. Good enough!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I'm taking this to mean that I can gloat. Again

Thisis just a warm-up for Jan. 20th. Don't use it all up now (again) The DURATS still think there is hope (?) before then. After then the fatality will set (or be forced) in by your rooftop shouting gloat and mine as well.

[RayChuang88]

And now for Keith Ohlberman, Jesse Jackson and other Democrats wearing tinfoil hats--GO AWAY!

[demnomo]

So, what will Keith Olbermann do now to fill in the empty space of his equally empty head, er, show, er, whatever?

Looks like Jesse "it's all about me" Jackson has his "preachin n' whinin" angle for the next 4 years...

[BigSkyFreeper]

We should also prepare contact materials so that people will have an idea of what arguments might work with a Republican. I think we should impress upon them that their future safety depends on a Kerry victory, as Bush has mismanaged things to the point of making us all less safe daily.

They won't make any inroads if all they can impress us with is their condescending elitist and smarmy attitude.

[firster555]

Not again, still. Ever watch a six year old child at play and keep yelling "Do Over" until he gets his way ? he is more mature and stable than these DUmmies. So don't gloat again, rather, carry on.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

They'll probably start warning us about what they are going to do to us in 2008....LOL

[MKM1960]

I assume that this will be as successful as the Democrat Leadership's attempt to quote the Bible.

Word to the DU: You lost, get over it and grow the F*ck up.

FReepers: I apologize for the the profanity, but according to the Department of Education, the left's reading comprehension score nearly doubles when profanity is included in the reading sample.

[BigSkyFreeper]

DU is usually about an hour or two behind on a good day, typically more on a normal day.

[demnomo]

Yup. Hillary will be their savior. It's gonna be interesting as well as ugly.

[mirkinmuffley]

Kentucky's votes were all counted by 10:00 EST on election night. Indiana's as well. Will someone from Ky or Indiana go to Florida and Ohio and teach these people to count.

[gopwinsin04]

It looks like certification is not going to taker place until December 11, and then the Dims will have 1 1/2 days over the weekend for the Greenes/Libertarian sponsored recount.

So that works out to one full Saturday the week before Christmas! lol..

[Allegra]

Meanwhile, a lawyer representing at least 25 voters who feel their right to vote was violated said he would file a lawsuit Thursday directly to the Ohio Supreme Court. Cliff Arnebeck said the case will seek to document that election abuses in Ohio were widespread.

Yeah, they were only allowed to vote once and those evil GOP poll-watchers wouldn't let these poor disenfranchised Dems' dead grandparents have a say in the election.

We ought to be ashamed!

[CaptSkip]

DU has just started a thread on the final provisional votes tally. I suggest 24hr suicide watch for the few that have a clue.

[raptor29]

It really is bad that a single state gets scrutinized like this, but not the others. It's bad precedent. I mean, what if they had somehow managed to turn this one state around, by hook or by crook, and it was too late for the Republicans to call for another look into states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.? I know the Republicans were comfortable with Ohio standing firm, even after the provisionals, but it's still risky and a potential problem in the future.

[areafiftyone]

I was watching MSNBC streaming video on election night because I didn't have access to TV and to his credit Brokaw did a pretty good job. He did not jump the gun on anything and did a very good job reporting the results and I'm not a fan of Brokaw.

[RushCrush]

You're giving them too much credit. If they're posting on DU, they obviously have no clue.

[bobsunshine]

This appears to be the final numbers from "ohvotesuppression.blogspot.com". Even though a lib site, it at least tracked all the counties and number of provisional votes.

"Thursday, December 02, 2004
Summary of provisional ballots count - UPDATED 12/2/04
Note: 88 of 88 counties have reported.

Current % of provisionals counted: 79%

Current "additional" vote count:
Bush +61,505
Kerry +79,482

Difference: Kerry +17,977"

------------------------------------------------------------
With this, Bush Won (again) by a margin of 118,506 votes. So even if there was a recount and a 100% of the 93,000 over/under votes went to Kerry, he could not win. Now on with the BUSH INAUGURATION

[areafiftyone]

Believe me this is not the only state. The DUmmies are trying to get the votes counted again in Florida. Anything to try to sneak in more votes for Kerry. Jeeze even Kerry admits he lost.

[demnomo]

Hope (and delusional behavior) springs eternal for the lefty die-hards. Efficient counting methods and having a modicum of mathematical prowess are not what most lefties consider important. It's the symbolism and emotional outbursts that matter to liberals.

[animoveritas]

Yeah, 12 of them were from PA, trying to vote in OH, 7 were dead, 3 were cats, 2 were cartoon characters, ...

[BigSkyFreeper]

They have no clue. How can they be honest with themselves if they're never honest with anyone else?

[areafiftyone]

Um how many were dead people propped up with sticks?

[JennysCool]

I propose that we need to prepare lists of all Republican electors in the nation for the purpose of contacting them directly to convince them to change their vote to Kerry.

Still laughing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Kerry is the only one who has a clue and has moved on.

[BigSkyFreeper]

2 were cartoon characters

Heckle and Jeckle or Tillie and Mac.

[demnomo]

Yeah, it's definitely a problem for the future. (Evil genius Karl Rove, are you listening?)

Hillary's thugs in '08 will be more demanding, devious, and stubborn when their savior loses to a public not overwhelmed by Her Heinous' "charms" despite what the fawning Old Media will have done to sanitize and shine rose-colored glasses on Hillary's obvious ultra-leftist, vindictive and criminal nature.

[raptor29]

Uhhh, Hillary?

That's exactly what I was talking about.
