When are they going to count the votes in Ohio? I can't find any reference to them counting the votes anywhere on the web.

I'm pretty sure Kerry lost in Ohio but I'd appreciate knowing the final tabulation. I assume the state is still planning to count the votes, right?

Just because Kerry conceded the race doesn't mean they don't have to finish counting the votes, right?

UPDATE Tom cites this story in comments. Looks like the story that the election was clean is starting to unravel already. CNN:

An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.

Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.

Bush actually received 365 votes in the precinct, Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told The Columbus Dispatch.

State and county election officials did not immediately respond to requests by The Associated Press for more details about the voting system and its vendor, and whether the error, if repeated elsewhere in Ohio, could have affected the outcome.

Interesting. I wonder why they don't respond? —Lambert
