Ohio must have different laws than Florida. Here, NO ballots are counted before election night. Absentees and EV all get counted at the same time as regular..........

They have not been counted yet, but we have reliable historical information on how counties vote, and what party a voter belongs to when they request an absentee ballot. For example, I live in Putnam County, which went 77% for Bush in 2004 and 70% for McCain in 2008. We know how many early votes were cast in Putnam County this year, so we have a pretty good idea of margins based on likely voting percentages.

The key takeaway is that Democrat heavy counties, like Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and Franklin (Columbus) are showing significant declines in early voting over 2008, and GOP heavy counties (like Warren) are showing significant increases compared to 2008.

If Obama does not have a significant lead in early voting, he loses, period.

A quick scan of the data shows Romney leading in every county with more than 25,000 EVs...

Great news! Romney only needs 270 Electoral College votes, so if he's at 25,000, then this has gots to be a done deal!!

This means a blowout in the making. Nate Silver will be very humiliated.

There’s been further updates. Gannett says it was dummy data that was accidently left up. This story is now dead. The 92k advantage is NOT true.

While the numbers—if true—are good for our team, I have to say that I don’t at all like this move to real-time voting. Let’s face it, with early voting and reporting of results that’s where we’re headed. I just think there’s too many bad things that can happen when results are reported early.

All of the big city counties, so far, with the exception of Montgomery (Dayton) have Romney in the lead. I’m assuming this is today’s vote.

I didn’t think they were allowed to display results yet. What’s that all about? Are these today, absentee, early voting????

The very small number in Montgomery leads me to think this is today’s voting. It’s about 3000ish, and Dayton is a very large metro area.

A lead in Athens county is huge news as is a lead in Cuyuhoga county. These numbers, too, make me think these are today’s numbers. Both those counties were HUGE Obama counties in 08, at 70%+ for Obama.

You went from OH is definitely going R leading up to today to “i think we can pull it off.”

I remain very confident, because I anticipate 2004-style turnout on both sides, meaning we win. However, my sunny optimism is based entirely on our voters showing up, and it's always possible that the Lefty pollsters were right. :)

That was test data - the link was garbage.

There is good news for our side in the early voting data though, scroll up in the thread for my replies.

Do you have any evidence that these numbers are not accurate?

Drudge has been linking to the Gannett site for hours and the site is still up with no corrections or retractions.

It seems to me that a partial count of the early votes was leaked.

I am pretty sure I read that, in general, 90+% of registered Ds vote D. Same thing for Rs voting R.

For the record, I’ve been a registered Democrat since 1988 (my first presidential election). I was Operation Chaos 20 years before Rush coined the term.

I love messing with their primaries.

Very interesting at least.

We were talking at work that Obama’s body language has been that he knows he will lose. Mitt projects that he thinks he will win.

We'll know in a few weeks one way or another (yes, I expect challenges to hold up the election).

“They pulled the link? They are SOOOOO worried that news will get out early that Obama is done. Panic about to hit the dems!”

The Rat Corrupt Media (the MSM), is all about coverups these days...wow! They sure are worried about their democrat colleagues down ticket...

Just the fact the person who posted the numbers said they were bogus and so did TonyInOhio (posting in this thread) who is there and knows the process and how things unfold in OH.

No votes have been counted yet. Absentee and early votes are not counted until the polls close, and the counting is done in each county. The data in the article was a test, as Gannett itself has printed. Disregard it!
