urban OH precincts not reported yet ...

http://election.sos.state.oh.us:80/results/RaceDetail.aspx?race=PP

Total Precincts Reporting: 32.83%

Bush: 50%
Kerry: 46.5%

But wait ...

Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) Precincts Reporting: 9.96%

Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Precincts Reporting: 11.25%

Lucas County (Toledo) Precincts Reporting: 6.06%


The only large urban Ohio county with significant precincts reporting is

Franlkin County (Columbus) Precincts Reporting: 61.68% - and it's close to tied there.

Hold on for the total to climb once some of these heavy Dem precincts get added.

Who do you think those people who queued all day are voting for? Who do you think all those urban residents are voting for? Kerry is going to take Ohio.

and the networks knew that the count would break this way.

It's been entertaining, but the game is drawing to a close.

Must be good news!

Statewide:

Bush: 52.71
Kerry: 46.64

Total Precincts Reporting: 50.03% (was 32.83%)

Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) Precincts Reporting: 9.96% (same as before)

Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Precincts Reporting: 17.98 (was 11.25%)

Franlkin County (Columbus) Precincts Reporting: 61.68% (same as before)

Lucas County (Toledo) Precincts Reporting: 35.56% (was 6.06%)

Looking at the data it is clear he will win.

He will pick up 150,000 in Cuyahoga alone.

In the year 2000 4,705,457 people voted in Ohio.

2,186,190 for Gore

2,351,209 for Bush


Patience, wait for the urban areas to report.

Kerry will win this state. He absolutely has to, no other way to win it.

if kerry wins NM, NV, NH, HI, and all 4 gore upper midwest states, kerry wins 270-268

We need Ohio.

(in the first post, Bush should have 52% - I typed it wrong)

Now:

Statewide:

Bush: 52.18 (was 52.71)
Kerry: 47.18 (was 46.64)

Total Precincts Reporting: 64.23% (was 50.03%)

Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) Precincts Reporting: 32.80% (was 9.96%)

Lucas County (Toledo) Precincts Reporting: 35.56% (was 6.06%)

this is going to go down to a few votes in a couple of neighborhoods in Cleveland.

Bizarre.
