Anyone has a precinct-by-precinct map/chart of election results in Ohio?
Ohio has 11,360 voting precincts. If the Green Party is to apply for a statewide recount, it will have to deposit $113,600 with the boards of election!
<blockquote>Relevant Ohio Revised Code Statutes § 3515.01 Persons eligible to apply for recount . . .
Any person who was a candidate at a general, special, or primary election for election to an office or position who was not declared elected may file with the board of a county a written application for a recount of the votes cast at such election in any precinct in such county for all candidates for election to such office or position. . . .
In the recount of absentee ballots that are tallied by county instead of by precinct, as provided in section 3509.06 of the Revised Code, the county shall be considered a separate precinct for purposes of recounting such absentee ballots. . . .
§ 3515.03 Recount; deposit required; notice; witnesses; losing candidate may stop recount
Each application for recount shall separately list each precinct as to which a recount of the votes therein is requested, and the person filing an application shall at the same time deposit with the board of elections ten dollars in currency, bank money order, bank cashier's check, or certified check for each precinct so listed in such application as security for the payment of charges for making the recount therein applied for, which charges shall be fixed by the board as provided in section 3515.07 of the Revised Code. . . .

The Green Party and/or Ralph Nader might use the pitch of raising money for statewide recounts as a fund-raising idea. -- Yoshie
