Today, Greg Palast writes the following on TomPaine.com:
"Bush won Ohio by 136,483 votes. Typically in the United States, about 3 percent of votes cast are voided--known as "spoilage" in election jargon--because the ballots cast are inconclusive. Palast's investigation suggests that if Ohio's discarded ballots were counted, Kerry would have won the state. Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports there are a total of 247,672 votes not counted in Ohio, if you add the 92,672 discarded votes plus the 155,000 provisional ballots."

Update [2004-11-4 17:6:43 by landrew]: Just a bit of levity for a serious situation. My husband just came up with this (ala the original Dragnet show):
Dum De Dum Dum. The election you have just seen was stolen. The votes have been changed to protect the Administration.
