... but not without controversy
TomPaine.com says Kerry won
Bush won Ohio by 136,483 votes. In the United States, about 3 percent of votes cast are voidedâknown as âspoilageâ in election jargonâbecause the ballots cast are inconclusive. Drawing on what happened in Florida and studies of elections past, Palast argues that if Ohioâs 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. So far there's no indication that Palast's hypothesis will be tested because only the provisional ballots are being counted.
