Sorry this took so long, guys. You can blame our Demoncrat Sec of State Chet Culver, who wants to be the next IA Gov, and our current Demoncrat Gov Tom Vilsack.

Remember on election night when IA stopped counting? My guess is that these guys didn't want IA to be the state to put Bush over the top. How convenient.

Your guess is a little off...

Green county had an equipment malfunction that did not get fixed until Wednesday. Then all that was out was provisional ballots, that were not required to be tallied until Thursday. Absentee ballots have until Noon Monday (11/8) to arrive, postmarked before election day, and still be counted when the counties canvass the vote, which happens sometime Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning (11-8 or 9). There are some state and local races that could swing by the time votes are canvassed. Even if Kerry got 100% of the remaining, uncounted, outstanding ballots, there are not enough to beat the spread in the presidential race - so the call was finally made.
