Official vote changes in Franklin County, Ohio

[jmknapp]

Columbus 58F: Kerry +110 Bush +100

Gahanna 1B: Bush -3893

Marble Cliff: Kerry -4 Bush +4

Absentee 1: Kerry +1658 Bush +1268
Absentee 2: Kerry +1466 Bush +1153
Absentee 3: Kerry +6993 Bush +4428

That's it for changes, as regards Kerry and Bush totals. I.e., they have
obfuscated the distribution of the provisional ballots by lumping them all
into "Absentee 3." (There was no Absentee 3 in the unofficial results.)

It would have been interesting to see the precincts where the provisionals
were concentrated, but I guess we will never know.

Bottom line for pres: Kerry 54.25%, Bush 45.04%, margin 9.21%

That alone is a testament to the Democratic GOTV effort. Gore won Franklin
County in 2000 by less than 1%.

If Absentee 3 is indeed the provisional ballots, then Kerry got 67.8% of the
provisionals that were accepted. So I guess we know in broad strokes who was
made to fill out a provisional ballot.

1. Nice analysis

I believe our GOTV efforts bore far more fruit than ThAT, even. I hope we find out just how much.
