Links for next weeks OH election for U.S. Congress.

First read this, not the first part -- later down the page.

Not very sensational, though it could hypothetically have been intentional to guard against a recount by increasing the margins.

Here are links I've found so far that have results or other pertanent information for the counties involved in next week's Hackett/Schmidt race for congress. Not included are links to all the reports on what went wrong, other than EIRS incident pages. Mainly that's because there are so damn many -- the election includes Hamilton, Warren and Clermont county, all sites of major problems/controversy. Those you'll have to google.

In addition to watching for any malarky, which may happen but is less likely with the stakes being much lower this time, use this as practice. If you aren't on the ground working polls in 2006 for some reason (you really should be, since we rely on citizens like you to spot and report fraud, and to fight vote suppression by supporting the people forced to wait) then you might want to consider applying your sharp eyes to what's being posted on the web, and see if you can catch any strange last minute changes, blips, or whatnot.

There's no guarantee any of these links will be updated frequently -- I was not able to find any news site promising "live elections results" but I only spent an hour or less googling. The brown county electionsonthenet link is the one most likely to get updated fast, and there is a spot on the Hamilton County BOE's site that may be activated to produce "real-time" results.

Anyone with any other links, please add below.
