COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 16 - The vast majority of provisional ballots cast in Ohio have been legitimate, election officials said, after spending nearly two weeks poring over thousands of disputed votes.
In the 11 counties that have completed checking ballots, 81 percent of the ballots are valid, according to a survey Monday by The Associated Press.
Most of the provisional ballots rejected so far came from people who were not registered to vote, election officials said. Others were missing information like addresses or signatures, or were from people voting in precincts where they did not live.
