UPDATE! November 5, 2004: Here is a *big* surprise: The Franklin County 
voting results .pdf files have *suddenly* been removed from the Franklin 
County Board of Elections homepage. Everyone, please contact these 
Reichwing whackjobs, and DEMAND that 'Unofficial Abstract of Votes - 
General Election - November 2, 2004, Franklin County, Ohio Offices,' page 
23, be restored. And, I do mean *demand.* Cheers, the CLG investigation
