The POTUS Jet...Doing a Little Crowd Surfing in Ohio!? :-D

Ok. POTUS's jet isn't really crowd surfing, but at first glance that's what it looked like to me. Lol. Anyhow this huge crowd for President Obama looks like a very good sign to me in my home state. :-)

  1. I love how President Obama is obviously very popular in Ohio, but I'm very concerned about what's likely going to be a contentious delayed counting of the ballots in Ohio because of something Sec of State Jon Husted did. According to this ABC News article: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/ohio-could-keep-us-guessing-past-election-night/ the Sec of State "decided not to wait for people to request absentee ballots and instead sent the applications to 6.9 million of the state’s 7.9 million registered voters." The problem arises because: "If voters have been sent an absentee ballot, but don’t return it by Nov. 5, they can still go to the polls and vote on election day, but they’ll be given a provisional ballot. And under state law, these ballots cannot be counted until Nov. 17." and the article goes on to point out that another reason for a possible delay in Ohio "is a function of the calendar. Ohio’s absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 5, but they can arrive as late as Nov. 16 and still be counted. This means that votes will likely still continue to trickle in after Election Night, and if the results are very close, those ballots could also shift the outcome."

    YIKES!
