I just heard on the radio here in Phoenix tonight that the Secretary of State's office says Hayworth is wrong. They do not have 100,000 ballots that haven't been counted. They have 230,500 ballots that haven't been counted. Guess they stopped after the 'RATS had enough to win.

While for the most part the GOTV effort has been extraordinary over the last couple of cycles, this is one place I think there has been a major error. The GOP is relying FAR too much on absentee ballots that are never counted, because some statistical model of the walk-in vote says they won't make a difference.

Either make it mandatory that ALL ballots have to be counted, even if the result might not change, or get the broken glass GOP to show up in person at the polls. Early returns are based on these votes, not the mail-ins, and the Dems almost always lead the early returns, due to the NE being first and Dems being day voters. This leads to the depression of the faint-hearted voters later in the day.
