The presidential election results in Ohio were close: According to still-unofficial figures from the Secretary of State, Barack Obama won the state with 2,690,841 votes to Mitt Romney’s 2,583,582 votes — a winning margin of 107,259 votes for the president. In percentage terms, that is 50.18 percent of the vote for Obama, and 48.18 percent for Romney.
But those numbers will change. Remember when, before the election, many observers discussed the possibility the results could be decided by the large number of provisional ballots that might be cast in Ohio? Well, those provisional ballots were cast, and they have not yet been counted. Neither have a significant number of absentee ballots. Together, the number of uncounted ballots is larger than Obama’s margin of victory.
According to the Secretary of State, there are 204,927 uncounted provisional ballots and 119,535 absentee ballots, for a total of 324,462 ballots. That is roughly three times the president’s 107,259-vote winning margin.
We can only pray for Hope and Change. Please let there be a god.
ReplyDeletedude, seriously, a black president is what they wanted in office and NOTHING will change it.
ReplyDeleteAnd those votes would have to break 67% or so for Romney to change the result given his current deficit. Absentee votes usually mirror the Election Day results. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Sadly you are correct. The shame is that the black person they choose is from the bottom of the barrel-the epitome of sleazy Chicago politics. This is why the whole admin is either incompetant or corrupt. Not too many people would lower themselves to enter into this cesspool.
Any electoral votes still uncounted? I did'nt think so.
