So what's the final Ohio number gonna be?

[Patsy Stone]

Let's take guesses about what the final difference in Ohio will be.
Remember you've got the provisionals, absentees, overseas/military absentees, and anomalies yet to be "cleared up" in the final total.

Down from 136K...what's the final number gonna be? Before the recount.

[tbuddha]

1. My guess is a little over 100,000

[Patsy Stone]

2. I'm thinkin' 100K also.

Maybe wishful thinking, but I'm happy today.

4. Then, of course,

Republicans will start raising hell and take it to the SC.

13. Latest Vote count is on the

provisional vote Update thread....my calculations show final tally should be ~118,000 margin

[googly]

20. 118,000 sounds about right.......

absentees might kick that number higher.

[jsascj]

3. Hard to say

I'm sure Bush will pick up some more votes as well. Too bad you can't recount the 1000s of votes that were never cast due to the Republican criminal activity.

Wonder if anyone still has a flier telling Dems to vote on Wednesday? Or was that a phone call? That SHOULD be criminal.

5. Hoping that they do.

So scummy...

[sabra]

6. 112,265 is my guess n/t

[Patsy Stone]

7. That's a pretty exact guess! :)

I appreciate the effort. Like guessing how many jellybeans in a jar.
Sitting on the edge of my seat...waiting, drip, drip, drip.

[jsascj]

10. Wow...

That's really nailing it down! Sounds good to me.

9. That post

is what prompted me thinking 'bout numbers. Thanks for posting it here.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Any more guesses? Befroe the provisional totals finish?

Any more takers?

[New Earth]

12. 98,000 within that range

[Patsy Stone]

14. That would be sweet...

here's hopin'

[smartvoter]

16. Clever.

[bemis12]

24. 120,000

Best guess.....

*edited almost immediately to correct guess*

[Lisabtrucking]

15. Kerry wins, but Bush remains president. n/t

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Under 50,000

that's what Kerry said a few weeks ago.

[Patsy Stone]

18. Pray with me for that...

how hot!

[righteous1]

19. Well that may be a bit difficult with only 25000 left to count

[smartvoter]

21. What is the gain so far?

[righteous1]

22. 12,721

[bemis12]

23. Where'd you get that?

The website only shows about 5,500 so far. There's the 4,000 vote error to get back still.....

[righteous1]

25. Franklin county is in

The second largest Kerry county is in he picked up 7171 of which 3860 was that double counted Bush tally they discovered on Nov 3rd

[smartvoter]

26. So he would be doing very well to make it down to 100k then, if 25k left.

[bemis12]

28. There's isn't more than

2,000-3,000 net gain left for Kerry in the remaining votes.

[righteous1]

29. Correct, , current margin is 123620 with ~18,000 yet to report

if Kerry gets 65% which is likely; it would end up Bush + 117,500

[smartvoter]

30. Okay. I thought there were more left. So just south of 120k is it.

[bemis12]

27. Thank you! n/t
