Ohio Secretary of State: Everyone Should Take a Deep Breath

Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell is on CNN and says the provisional ballots have not been counted and won't be counted for 11 days after the election. That's the law in Ohio. No totals for 11 days. The overseas ballots have not been counted either.The absentee ballots have been counted.

Blackwell agrees there could be 250,000 provisional ballots as the Kerry camp says. He won't estimate the number of military ballots.

92% of the vote is in, there is about a 100,000 vote lead for Bush. Blackwell says, if the number of votes that separates the candidates is less than the number of provisional ballots, everyone should take a deep breath. So, take a deep breath. Kerry is right to wait.

Ken Blackwell is one confident Secretary of State. Hope his star rises after this. Even though he's a Republican.
