COLUMBUS, Ohio
While the rest of the country focuses on Christmas shopping and NBA slugfests, Ohio is still trying to decide who was elected president.

Two major challenges are expected to unfold tomorrow.

First, lawyers representing voters upset about problems at the ballot Election Day plan to contest the results with the Ohio Supreme Court. They will cite long lines, a shortage of machines and a pattern of problems in predominantly black neighborhoods.

In addition, third party candidates bolstered by a favorable federal court ruling plan to file requests for a recount in each of Ohio's 88 counties.
