1. Crazy

God I hope we can pull this one off...

2. He's kept the largest county close but he's still behind

Hamilton County is almost reported and that's the largest county in the district (Cincinnati Suburbs), so it's a matter of making up the difference in the other counties. He'll lose Clairmont which is her home county and it looks like he lost Warren. But he has great leads in the other 4 counties

3. Am I missing something?

The way I read it, 81.19% of precincts are reporting, and Schmidt is ahead 46304 to 43708.

5. The newest data I can find is Hackett behind by 850 votes.

There are 91 precincts left to report out of the 753 total. I'm am about to go crazy. :shiver:

6. That site is now getting hammered too.

People, we'll have to wait. There is just too many of us who want to know the results before everybody else.

7. If it's that close, doesn't it go to an audit?

groan......

8. Just curious...what happens when an election result is DEAD EVEN...

...I mean when there's exactly the same number of votes for both candidates? It must have happened sometime in election history.

9. I would wet myself for one!!!

10. Recount

then another recount. Then the lawsuits. The the court battles.

Bush did not win an election in 2000. He won a lawsuit.

11. I recall reading about a local election that was settled by a coin

flip after several recounts gave an exact tie.

12. According to that site, Clermont is the only county that hasn't

returned 100% of its precincts. Which isn't good since it sounds like Clermont is repuke central.

13. The craps is remaining votes are from clermont co. still possible

but not likely

[flpoljunkie]

14. Clermont only county that uses opti-scan; others still use punch cards

Did I read that Hackett lives in Clermont County.
