I called the SOS on how many provsisonals were accepted or not and they didn't know. It's happening in each of the 88 precincts. John Fund on Brit said HALF were disqualified but the guy I talked to said that seemed unlikely it's ususally 10% disqualified.

The Ohio Secretary of State official is using historical data to make this assumption that approximately 10% of provisional ballots are disqualified, because in 2000 for example 87% of the ballots were qualified.

However in 2004 there are more restrictions to "accept" a provisional ballot and this will lead to more disqualification. For example AP has news story two or three days ago where they said that In Cuyahoga county (Cleveland), the election board there did the first batch of 2667 ballots and 917 of them were disqualified and this amount to 35% of the total first batch. I do not know if this % of disqualification will increase or decrease for the remaining 24000 provisional ballots in Cuyahoga County.

Also the Toledo Blade has a story two days ago where they reported that in the first batch of provisional ballot in the county where Toledo is located , 45% of the provisional ballots were disqualified in this first batch. Again I do not know if this % of disqualification will increase or decrease for the remaining provisional ballots in this county.
