Interesting break down of counties with initial returns posted. Most seem to be mid-state rural countues ringing Columbus. Lake County, Northeast of Cuyahoga has Bush in the lead as well.
Interesting enough, NONE of the predominantly GOP counties have reported any votes yet (Hamiton, Brown, Clermont, Butler and Warren).
Cuyahoga has no votes on the board and Franklin County has some votes posted showing a razor thin Bush lead.
I just pulled this off Real Cleap Pol :"REAL TIME"
Precincts Reporting: 0.25%
Office Candidate Party Votes % Of Votes
President/Vice President
Bush, George W. Republican 48,235 54.70%
Kerry, John F. Democratic 39,580 44.89%
I saw the opposite on Fox. Who is right?
If those GOP counties were smart they'd wait until after Cuyahoga county reports & THEN report. Less chance for fraud/ballot box stuffing.
