That's how it works. Now that the Democrats are ahead, of COURSE there's no reason to count any additional ballots that might be found. "Count every vote?" What? What was that? Can't hear.

In my opinion, the Republicans should concede gracefully. There's always another election, it's just a state governorship, and we've got enough election nutballs running around in Ohio.

        re: No Tom we stop when we make the vote official it's the law. Repubs lost so now they want to change the rules of the election. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 12/25/2004 12:24:12 AM
        
        Well if Democrat johnny come lately votes can be counted, why not Republicans? (n/t) - Lee - 12/24/2004 5:50:46 PM
        
        re: Because they did and now the election is over and certified. If I came to my polling place a day late would you accept my vote? How about a week? Any vote found now by anyone is to late. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 12/25/2004 12:22:01 AM
        
        "Any vote found now by anyone is to late." Which is why the "found" votes shouldn't have counted. (n/t) - Lee - 12/25/2004 7:41:56 AM
        
        You haven't paid close attention to this race. In both recounts counties of both colors found misplaced ballots. That is what a recount is for in part. The 700 King County votes didn't make the win.… (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 12/25/2004 10:07:43 PM
        
        Yes I have paid close attention. NONE of the ballots found after election day should be counted. (n/t) - Lee - 12/26/2004 6:18:53 AM
