Are we going to see a controversy now in Lake County?

[Missouri Blue]

CNN was discussing how long it has taken for the Lake County to report its votes. As it's very close to Chicago and Obama's power base, and has a history of machine politics and voting irregularities. The fact that it is delaying so long it is going to cause questions.

I could see the Clintons taking this to court. With Florida and Michigan also, I could see where the Clintons would have a good legal "campaign" to continue to contest, post-primary-campaign.

1. no - later time zone, tons of absentee, and doing it carefully. to heck with rushing. nt

2. Agree; I read that 11,000 people voted absentee

and the absentee vote needs to be counted before the totals are given.

3. It's not a later timezone, but it is a huge market, they were open an hour + later, and...

4. Clintons take this, FLA and Mich to court? Hello, Green Party? I'd like to register ...

5. Its abbsentee ballots, there are 11 000 that they have been forced to add to the count because its

so close. Normally they would have been counted over the next few days.
