Ohio voting results may not be "in" until Wednesday.
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 07:48 PM by liberalnurse
I'm looking for a written link.

I heard on the WHIO-TV News that due to the scanning system that the voting results may not be calculated until Wednesday.

You may help me look for a new article to this if you like.

Just sharing with you what I heard.

Here is one I found but it's an article from January:

7. Jennifer has given her heart and soul into fixing this scrambled
nest of knotted cords, strings, ropes, tape and all that it implies to picture the mess Blackwell left the incoming SOS.

I commend her for the valiant effort. :applause:

Just think, have you ever been a landlord and cleaned up a trashed-out apartment from nasty tenants? This voter clean-up reminds me of a past experience I had with rotten tenants.

10. Don't forget that in Cuy County, there will be a mid-afternoon ballot pick-up so that there will not
be a log jam in the evening. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

5. I think that was a given, anyway.
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 11:55 PM by AngryOldDem
This may be the biggest primary ever in Ohio and I think things won't be settled until well into Wednesday morning. Heavy turnout regardless of the voting mechanism will ensure that.

But whatever happens, let's all just hang in there together. It's gonna be a long day and a long night.

Good luck, everyone.

ON EDIT: http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/03/03/ddn030308earlyvotingweb.html

If this is any indication, it's going to be one hell of a busy 48 hours.

6. Didn't the same thing happen in Maine?
The results of one of the earlier states didn't come in until either late that night or early the next day. I can't remember what state it was, but I'm pretty sure it was Maine.

Just so long as it gets counted correctly and timely. I'm not up for my home state to turn into a mix of 2000 Florida and 2008 New Mexico.

9. "They are testing early so they can
fix any problems before Tuesday. Makes sense, seems very responsible."
