New I recall hearing 250,000
Math time.

Bush leads by 130,000.

Historically 10% of provisional ballots are rejected -- 25,000 leave 225,000

Kerry needs first 130,000 to tie, then next 47,500 to keep tie.

=== Kerry needs to win 177,500 votes out of 225,000 or 78.88888888%

Likely no. Possible - slim.

Bush wins.

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

New The number is much lower
[link|http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137407,00.html|Ohio]
"Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has released provisional vote numbers for 78 of Ohio's 88 counties, showing a total of 135,149 provisional ballots, according to Blackwell's Web site. "

This means there are a lot fewer then 250,000 votes, it is much closer to 150,000, yake away 10% and there aren't enough for Kerry to win.
