Bush with 136,000 vote lead in Ohio. About 250,000 absentee ballots out there.
Kerry needs to win 193,000 of those (assumed) 250,000 ballots to win Ohio. That's 77%.
The Republicans, however, are claiming that there are only 175,000 absentee ballots.

Ahhhhh....but Grasshopper you are not factoring in that MOST of the "provisional ballots" are excluded for various reasons. Less than 20% of thos ballots will actually be sanctioned.
I would like to see a "Provisional" concession speech at 10am when he SHOULD try and UNITE the country instead of doing the opposite. :wnw:
And thank goodness that we don't have to hear this BS for another 4 years how he stole an election. Bush is NOW the legitimately elected leader. And to my friends in FRANCE.......TAKE THAT Jacques you backstabbing THIEF. :bwave:

I'm not factoring in the possibility of only 100k or 500k absentee ballots being out there either. Assumptions stated above ;-)

Oh, well back in the USSR, you weren't allowed to move without permission, so it's a moot point. :)
