This should be enough to CONTEST the election in OHIO
One Ohio County (Cuhayoga) had 55,434 (at minimum) over votes. This is assuming 80% of voters actually voted (which isn’t even likely).

7. with punchcards overvotes can be produced just by sticking a pin through
the Bush hole.

If they wre Bush votes to start, no harm. If Kerry votes then they become overvotes.

3. Man, someone obviously failed basic math. Too bad they let that guy
diddle the election numbers for the republicans. Didn't they have anyone that could count?

4. Do any of these numbers include provisional or absentee
I live in Canada and am not sure how you include these in the totals.

There are not enough of either to make a difference if they weren't added (but would make it even worse) or if they were added (registered voters are registered voters).

8. Easy, I am beginning to see a pattern

They would boost Bush's numbers in some precincts by adding 4000 votes or 8,000 votes to the final vote tally. If Bush won a precinct, they would throw a few thousand in for him. If he was loosing a precinct by a lot, they would just decrease the number of overall votes, thereby keeping the percentage for that area the same, but decreasing the overall vote gains made by Kerry. If areas were Bush and not small, they would still throw in the extra thousands of votes, but it would be less obvious to discover. So, it is fairly likely that every precinct where Bush won by over 60% got a few thousand extra votes for him out of nowhere.

Where they messed up was in very small areas where Bush won by over 70%, they still threw in the extra thousands of votes, causing those counties with 4000 and 8000 more votes than registered voters. This may be due to them using a method like (if Bush won by more than 300 votes, then add 4000 more for Bush), which would work fine in most precincts, but would cause the following problems in the smaller ones.

This would be seemlessly done on the tabulating computers for those areas. Either by a script on that computer, or someone hitting the modem and changing the totals. Or both.

9. uh
can obvious can this be? as long as these numbers are correct, shouldn't this be forwarded to someone who can do something about it, or point it in the right direction? if you look at the chart (as long as i'm looking at it right) that's an extra 20,000 ballots cast? wtf?

13. this was debunked, absentee votes added to the summary totals
in the release of the unofficial results, the county lumped in the absentee vote totals into some of the village and city totals.

Granted at first blush it looks bad, but I downloaded the canvass report and reconciled the vote totals myself.

However, I did post an extensive post the other day about the over 25 precints with very low voters, like 8 or 21 so there are irregularities that deserve investigation
