195,000 of 250,000 Provisional Ballots seems like a lot to assume you got

OHIO Election Night 2004 : Race Summary

Although I am not surprised that Kerry, having spent all of the Democrat's money in this failed bid for the White House, will not conceed. As a practical matter, it doesn't seem likely that he actually did win Ohio.

What wasn't clear when I went to bed was just how much of a disaster this strategy was for the Democrats. It's akin to the Nixon re-election, where Nixon spent so much of his party's money that the lost both House and Senate seat, plus state elections, plus Nixon didn't even get to be president (ok, ok, there was also the Watergate thing but you get what I'm saying)
