5. There isn't much
I don't have time to clean this up,sorry.

In Lucas County, of the 5,379 provisional, military, overseas civilian, and hospital voters, Mr. Kerry won 3,662 of them, or 68.1 percent. Mr. Bush won 1,701, or 31.6 percent.

The county also collected additional votes through late-arriving absentee ballots. Normally the deadline to recieve absentee ballots is Election Day, but the state extended the cutoff date this year for military men and women serving overseas.

In the final results, Democratic candidates prevailed in Greene in every race except president and U.S. senator.

Presidential candidate John F. Kerry won 25 of the 45 additional votes, but President George W. Bush edged his Democratic challenger by 112 votes. Bush is the first Republican presidential candidate since Richard Nixon to win Greene County. Bush won his re-election, even though Pennsylvania went to Kerry.

Meanwhile, the board tallied ballots for 87 Broward voters serving in the military.

Those voters chose Democratic candidate John Kerry over President Bush, 51-34. Two did not make a choice in the presidential race.

The late count of provisional and overseas – predominantly military – ballots took place Sunday and Monday at the county courthouse. White added 54 votes to her total, whereas Baxter only added 30. (As an interesting footnote, Butts said the majority of military votes in the Travis Co. presidential race went to John Kerry, who took 259 votes to George Bush's 138.) Witnessing the vote count for the Democrats were Butts and lawyer MariBen Ramsey (both representing the White campaign) along with local party Chair Chris Elliott and coordinated campaign director Glen Maxey. Republican poll watchers during the two-day process featured several attorneys from the Locke Liddell & Sapp law firm, as well as the always unpredictable former (Democratic) County Judge Bill Aleshire, representing the Baxter campaign on behalf of the Riggs & Aleshire law firm. County GOP Chair Alan Sager also attended
