Just count the ballots at the back of the bus.

Most voters in Ohio chose Kerry. Here's how the votes vanished.

This February, Ken Blackwell, Ohio's Secretary of State, told his
State Senate President, "The possibility of a close election with
punch cards as the state's primary voting device invites a
Florida-like calamity." Blackwell, co-chair of Bush-Cheney reelection
campaign, wasn't warning his fellow Republican of disaster, but
boasting of an opportunity to bring in Ohio for Team Bush no matter
what the voters wanted. And most voters in Ohio wanted JFK, not GWB.
But their choice won't count because their votes won't be counted.

The ballots that add up to a majority for John Kerry in Ohio -- and in
New Mexico -- are locked up in two Republican hidey-holes: "spoiled"
ballots and "provisional" ballots.
