Provisional Ballots in Ohio

Apparently, officials are passing out disproportionate (as in, thousands) of provisional ballots in Ohio. Someone talk me down, I am freaking out here.

Carol Costello ?@CarolCNN Election observers in Ohio tell me and @lauradolancnn they are seeing lots of provisional ballots cast. Not optimal. #vote2012 #CNNElections

The Obama legal team has to be on this, right?

Here's the deal with Jon Husted moving the goalposts on provisional ballots:

Call the campaign, make phone calls to OHIO. Call every county election office, find out if they are really having ballot problems. Make sure those around you have voted. Turn off the television. There are always problems. They are correctable. Negative news is a voter suppressor. Do what you can do. The polls don't close for hours. Get out more votes. NOW.
