CNN Calling Ohio “Green”

November 3rd, 2004

…Which means it’s too close to call and will be for some time. Kind of surprising, kind of like them calling it “polka-dot” or something.

However, it does not look too good. If you look at Ohio county-by-county, it looks like most of the precincts not reporting in yet have gone more for Bush than Kerry–if CNN’s counting system is to be believed. They report that Cuyahoga County is 99% reported.

On the other hand, CNN is also reporting that as many as 600,000 votes are still uncounted in Ohio. And let’s not forget that Ohio is the Diebold State, where many of the voting machines were made by the Bush campaign manager. Challenges to those counts may be forthcoming, especially if there are apparent statistical irregularities.

CNN also just reported that due to broken optical-scanner counting machines and other factors, Iowa will not make an official report on their cote until tomorrow at best. Iowa currently is razor-thin, with Bush leading by 11,000 votes exactly with 94% of precincts reporting. Ohio is now at 95% of precincts reporting, bush still ahead of 100,000. New Mexico should be called for Bush soon, though Nevada is still in the air.
