Mind you, it's an 11 day wait because "it's the law" but CNN was reporting to be trying to at least find out for certain how many provisional ballots are out there because there are so many different numbers being thrown a boot.

Let me be as gentle as possible.
Currently, Bush has 145,000 vote lead in Ohio (it keeps rising)
There are approximately 250,000 provisional votes. Provisional votes have to be verified, they will not all count. Usually about 25% end up being validated. Let's say that this time an amazing 50% are counted.
so, now we have 125,000 extra votes. Now, let's say that 100% of those votes go to Kerry.
He is still short by 20,000 votes. Forget it. Bush won.
