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!
I could be mistaken, but I believe they did start tallying the early votes after the early polls closed yesterday. I believe that was part of the basis of the lawsuit to not have early voting over the weekend, was to have the weekend to count.
So I think they are not to release the totals until the polls close, but they are likely being counted all ready.
“The data in the article was a test, as Gannett itself has printed.”
So, I wouldn’t put it past the Rat press to put up test data that shows Romney up, and then put out some real data later showing - shock - he’s down in early vote counts (we all knew this, only down much less than McCain...and I wouldn’t put it past a few people there at that paper to have done this to get all the R operatives in a spin (which they kind of have) - as a either a practical joke, or a way of trying to affect the crucial OH in person vote....
I wouldn’t put it past ‘em. Just sayin’...
