Total change from Obama to McCain: 456,863
And here’s another number for your total: 500,000. That’s the number of absentee ballots cast by military personnel stationed overseas. So far, it’s unclear how many of those votes were actually counted. Polling suggests that at least 2/3 of those ballots were cast for John McCain. Now, divide that number among the various battleground states and the race is even closer.
Republicans should make military voting rights a priority for the next Congress, and raise hell when the Democrats stall. The Dims have never supported military voting reforms, and aren’t about to start now. It’s a winning issue, particularly when we learn how many of those votes went uncounted.
McCain couldn’t wait to throw up his hands and quit.
They should have contested EVERY %@#*# ballot.
There is another set of numbers on FR that don’t match these.
