Excellent post on Kos from an Ohio poll worker

Kerry will win Ohio. I worked at a polling station. Two things were dominate: 1. an ENORMOUS amount of provisional ballots. These people waited for hours - and then were sent to the county board of elections to cast their provisional ballots. Others, stood up the Republican challengers - and cast provisional ballots - after waiting alone inside that polling station. 2. there was an enormous amount of absentee ballots cast by Democrats. About one in ten people had someone in their family cast an absentee ballot (this is a Heavy Democrat polling station made of 5 precincts). The networks are trying to put a decisive winner on a very close race. Kerry will be sworn in on January 20, 2004. Other Democratic Precincts that I know of have a similar mix of provisionals and absentees.

You can call the Kerry HQ and tell them not to concede.

A little.

We're always fighting against overwhelming odds.

hope for the first time tonight.

Kerry HQs knows this better than anyone!

keep spreadin the word.

They will NOT give up!!!

Let them hear us!

i told them they BETTER not quit.....the young lady i talked to said there is no way they will quit.

the guy sounded very energetic!

And I said, "Amen." She said, "Thanks, bye-bye," and I could tell lots of calls coming in.

The young woman who answered had a hoarse voice but sounded very upbeat!

WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!!!!

I got a tape instead of a live body. I think they're getting so many calls they've put the machine on. I told them my name and state (bet they weren't expecting to hear from Georgia ;) ) and that I had already sent an e-mail, but I wanted to let them know in person that they have our support. I told them that I did not believe the race was as close as it seemed, that I did not believe that Bush won, and I thanked them for Edwards' message that they are pushing for all of the votes to be counted. I told them not to give up, because we are NOT giving up on them.

Hee, it's beer o'clock here... I hope I was halfway coherent.

They're going to fight this thing! When Kerry fights, Kerry wins!
