Ohio had one of naton’s highest rates for counting provisional ballots in ‘04

While in Cleveland for the Bar Mitzvah of one of the PatriotNephewsWest (hence the light blogging), the eldest PatriotBrotherWest (the one who lives in Cleveland) alerted me to an article in Cleveland?s Plain Dealer Newspaper. According to that journal, Ohio counted 78% of its provisional ballots. Including Alaska (97% of its provisional ballots counted), Ohio was one of only six states (the others being Oregon, Washington, Nebraska and Colorado) which counted more than 75% of their provisional ballots.
