Ohio Election Results Live Thread

Ohio Secretary of State ^ | 11/04/08 | TonyInOhio

I'll be posting results and analysis on this thread as the Ohio returns come in. There are a couple of wild cards in play this year. First, our new early voting period means that some early results will be skewed, as it appears that a significant proportion of Democrats, especially African Americans, voted early. This will give an advantage to Democrats in the early numbers.

Secondly, a significant number of ACORN registrations were determined to be invalid (like 1/3) and so many of those registratnts, if the vote, will be give provisional ballots. These ballots will only be counted if the regular and early vote margin is too close to call.

Many of us who vote by absentee method are disabled, or unable to wait in long lines for other health reasons. I know you concerns, but eliminating the absentee would have eliminated my ability to vote.

I’m a poll observer in cleveland. low turnout @ my precincts.

[DoughtyOne]

Glad to hear it. I hope PA comes too.

[originalbuckeye]

Don’t intend to make it tough for the disabled. Most of the absentee voters I know didn’t want the hassle of going today to vote. I’d certainly make a concession for disabled voters.

Awesome map. Thank you.

[DoughtyOne]

  My pleasure.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com has a great tally board, but it lists only percentages, as does Fox, CBS, CNN.

Anyone know of a nationwide tallyboard which lists raw votes — maybe even with drill down by state? (Probably hoping for too much.)

Your help is much appreciated. Cleveland's one of the ACORN-Fraud hotspots. Keep 'em honest!

The polls in Ohio have closed. The Secretary of State is awaiting data from our 88 counties.

In Columbus suburb of Dublin, a steady flow most of the day according to a poll worker I spoke with about an hour ago. More McCain buttons/hats etc... but expected in this town

Lifelong Ohio resident, excuse me I have to go puke.

[GOP_Lady]

I wish I didn't have to work Cuyahoga County. The dems are just too weird.

[EBH]

Yeah , come hold my hair back...

Cuyahoga county though...

Please let the rest of the state be sane.

Now, I know why I felt so freakin’ alienated. Maybe a move is in order...

[impeachedrapist]

They just called NH for Obama. I’m bummed. That probably means a possible NH-01 pickup is gone, too.

[Eric Blair 2084]

I thought conservatives respected perseverence and hard work. I stood on line...4 times to vote for Obama. Show me some love.

Hmmm, not exactly close in a Dem stronghold.
