Maybe because Acorn the SoS got a little more exposure than they were counting on this election. Damn, what’s the world coming to when you can’t even count on the dead to show up at an election!
Or someone dumped a lot of republican votes....
Bull. The numbers reported by Ohio bear no relation in fact to the actual votes cast. Can you say Fraud?
McCain supressed the vote.

Duh, this isn’t hard to figure out. They are talking percentages.
It is becuase they had a zillion new (fraudulent) voter registrations.
60% of a zillion is more than 67% of 5 million.
A half-elf priest must have slain most of the Obama Zombie voters.
Hmmmm, did someone say “acorn”?
I think we need to come to terms with the reality, which isn’t a bad thing for Conservatism in general. McCain is no conservative as we all know. Most of the votes he got were from a base that loved his VP but had to hold their noses to vote for him. There were enough conservatives that held to their principles and stayed away. McCain got 7-8 million votes less than Bush got in 2004. Had those folks turned out for him he might have actually won.
It’s awful that we have President Obambi. But it’s clear we need a Reagan, and nothing less that a Reagan, combined with a slate of Congress people to rival 1994, that will make us unstoppable. Can we get that done???
“I’m perplexed,” said Herb Asher, professor emeritus of political science at Ohio State University.”
The nitwits that ACORN sign up are too lazy or just don’t care enough to actually go vote.
About 10% of the populace didn't bother to show up and vote because they didn't like either candidate. ACORN's phantom voters probably made up for 6%, but there was no one to cover the last 4%.
Don't worry Ohio, with 4 years of The One and ACORN on the job, your voter totals will skyrocket to here before unseen levels!

Maybe they lost a bunch of votes.
Not enough dead people?.............
From the article:
“Another interesting result is that the counties with the largest increase in turnout from four years ago — Butler, Delaware and Warren — are solid Republican or GOP-leaning counties.”
I certainly want a concrete answer to this. I would not be surprised if some Republican ballots got “lost” and are found too late or not at all.
Don’t get me wrong. McDole was not the best guy to run and that has something to do with it but dang, let’s get the “books balanced” on the votes.
Maybe because President Bush and the Iraq War were more popular than the media ever gave credit for.
No Christian right. The politically active ones voted McCain but they didn’t bring their friends.
My county in Ohio had a 75.5% turnout.
We had record turnout in Missouri, which may be the only “battleground” state that goes for McCain.
Conservatives were motivated to vote against Obama here. Only 3-5 counties went for Obama in the state, as far as I can tell.
I think we need a better class of "experts".
