BREAKING: PRESIDENT WITH SLIM LEAD IN OHIO

Ohio’s Secretary of State is posting results of what I imagine are early votes and absentee ballots and so far President Bush is leading by the slimmest of margins:

Bush: 49.87% with 800,950 votes.
Kerry: 49.12% with 788,799 votes

UPDATE: We all know turnout is likely to be higher this year vs. 2000. However, based upon the 2000 voter turnout of 4,705,457, the 1,606,016 that have been counted in Ohio so far represents 34% of the 2000 turnout.

DU thinks those numbers are a test. They locked their thread on it.

“Sample of counties..

Adams
Bush, George W. Republican 6,000 48.08%
Kerry, John F. Democratic 6,000 48.08%
Cobb, David Keith-WI 60 0.48%
Schriner, Joe -WI 60 0.48%
Parker, John T.-WI 60 0.48%
Harris, James -WI 60 0.48%
Zych, Thomas F.-WI 60 0.48%
Badnarik, Michael 60 0.48%
Duncan, Richard A.-WI 60 0.48%
Peroutka, Michael Anthony 60 0.48%
Precincts Reporting: 0.00% 12,480

0.00% precincts reporting? exactly 6,000 a piece for Bush and Kerry and 60 votes for everyone else? “
