  •  Oh and another thing (4.00 / 4)

    the 4:00 vote counts were 470 for 49-A and 502 for 49-F (I personally counted the list).  The final vote counts were 550 and 745, according to the Franklin County web site.  That means only 80 people voted after 4:00 in 49-A and 243 in 49-F.

    That's not possible, for several reasons.  First, the lines were basically equal for both precincts all day, and they were long.  At 4:30, when I checked the 4:00 voter lists, there were more than 80 people in line for 49-A, and there had been voting for 30 minutes since the list went up.  That's not to mention the continuing flow of voters into the voting place after 4:30.  While it tailed off between 6:30 and 7:30 (the weather got truly awful early in the evening), the line was still outside the gymnasium door for both precincts at 7:45 when I left.  There were at least 150-200 people still in line when I left.

    Something smells like shit here.

    •  If you were outside, (none / 0)

      you probably can't be sure how many people had to vote provisional ballots.  Am I correct in assuming that those aren't in the totals, since they aren't "votes" until they are verified?

      Noy suggesting the election was fair and square...just applying Occam's razor.

      •  Good point (none / 0)

        I was outside.  However, I was in constant contact with the Democratic lawyer "inside" (I even brought him some McDonalds for lunch).  He told me at about 5:00 that only about 20 provos were voted.
        •  We counted and tallied provisionals (none / 0)

          The report sheets were faxed to the Boilerroom down at the Coleman HQ. If you want to doublecheck on this, that number should be available.

          Sincerely-
          Reynoldsburg 1-C and 2-A
