How Many Provisional Ballots in Ohio, Again? [RETRACTED]

Pixy Misa, who makes this whole joint swing, tips that there are in fact merely 76,000 or so provisional ballots at large in Ohio. [SEE CORRECTION.]

Now, actually, I think the Dems are using the 250,000 uncounted votes term to include both provisional ballots, and maybe absentees, and the hundred thousand Double Secret Probation Votes coming out of Cleveland, any moment now.

But, given that Bush's lead in Ohio is growing, not shrinking, as the last precincts check in, I think we'll soon be able to just talk about the provisionals and the absentees. And the absentees, of course, usually go pretty Republican.

PS: Bush now has a lead of over 160,000 votes in Ohio with 99% of precincts reporting and ABC and CBS still won't project him the winner (I think).

Alarming News notes that the media were perfectly willing to call Michigan for Kerry with a similar margin.

But there's no media bias, you know. It's a figment of your lunatic imagining.

Correction: Tipped by Pixy and "someone" that those numbers listed are as of yet uncomplete, and they're still counting, and adding to the number.
