In the Columbus, Ohio- area, elections officials are delaying the count of more than 9,000 provisional ballots by one day so it doesn't disrupt the much-vaulted Ohio State-Michigan football game on Nov. 18.

And we can't do it the day after that cause the wagon train is coming into town. Oh yeah, and the day after that the moving picture theater is showing something, so we can't do it then.

Give me a break.

You apparently don't understand how important the OSU-Michigan game is in Colombus, OH.

I doubt you will hear either candidate voice any complaints over the delay.

These are their constituents, and they are wise to understand what is important to them.

And therin lies the problem with most of this country. We are more concerned about our sports teams, entertainment, movie stars, and recreation than we are about protecting our rights and keeping our eyes on what the government is doing to us EVERY SINGLE DAY!

If we paid as much attention to our so called leaders as we do the other crap, this country would be in a hell of a lot better shape.

I am with you! Not counting until after the Ohio State -Michigan game makes zero sense. What does a game a week away have to do with the election?

Lol! I was thinking the same thing. What difference does the game make? They can't count the votes because of a game that's a week away?
