If you keep hearing Ohio exit poll/early voting numbers peddled this morning, they're pure B.S.

One of the Cinci newspapers goofed, and a bunch of the conservative media and bloggers ran with it:

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.
