>Meanwhile in Ohio, a report in the NY Times states "Franklin County's

>260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast 
>ballots in that precinct." Bush actually polled 365.  It is not clear 
>whether any of the other 3,000 such machines were quite so favourably 
>inclined towards the GOP. Bush won by 136k - but with 155k provisional 
>ballots left uncounted.
