Romney up 92K in OH early voting? Update: Gannett pulls link
HotAir ^

Posted on 11/06/2012 6:53:26 AM PST by rlbedfor

Mitt Romney already has 697,143 votes before the polls opened a couple of hours ago, while Barack Obama only has 605,546, a difference of almost 92,000 votes. The data is time-stamped at 2:03 ET this morning, and the link on the front page of the site reads, “Early voters: How Ohio has voted.”

A few counties have not yet reported any early-voting results, but one county in particular looks huge. Cuyahoga, which includes Cleveland, should be a Democratic stronghold, and perhaps the one area where Democratic early-voting efforts should have produced their biggest lead. Instead, Romney has a lead of about 14,000 votes already, 127,570 to 113,373. In Hamilton County, where Cincinnati itself is located, Romney leads by over 5,000, 29,969 to 24,808. A quick scan of the data shows Romney leading in every county with more than 25,000 EVs.

This may be a very big deal, if these numbers are correct.

My understanding is that Ohio doesn’t release the early vote counts until after all polls close this evening, so either this is a major leak, or it’s fake data.

What is your source?

The Ohio Secretary of State's office. :) I suspect the Gannett story was based on a pollster's model of the EV stats but that they forgot about voters who didn't vote in the primary.

I'm not worried, however - the cut in Barry's margins will be significant, and I think we more than make up the difference today. Keep in mind that Barry's campaign has been hammering their drones to vote early for two months, and yet they are still way down in some of their largest counties. At the same time, GOP early turnout has significantly increased. My guess is that it will still be close, but Romney has an edge. if we turnout like we did in 2004, we win.

so the Dem counties do not report yet because they wait for the republican counties to report and then the Dems know how many votes to pull out of their cars and those boxes which have been stuffed in the corners of some buildings

Ohio must have different laws than Florida. Here, NO ballots are counted before election night. Absentees and EV all get counted at the same time as regular..........

” A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning.

It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet – by law counting doesn’t start until the polls close.

Cincinnati.com regrets the error.”

As much as I would like to believe it, I don’t see how it is possible Romney could be leading in Cleveland.

This is very good news for Romney since the Repubs have always outvoted the Commies on election day. This should be an early call for Mitt.

Pray for America
