Court Won't Take Up Election Appeal

WASHINGTON -- Ohio emerged as the likely setting for another overtime presidential court fight, with the focus this time on tens of thousands of uncounted ballots cast by people who would otherwise have been turned away from the polls. The Kerry campaign, trailing in the Electoral College count, refuse to concede the election. The number of provisional ballots could be greater than the margin between Kerry and President Bush. Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell said early Wednesday that the number of provisional ballots in the state could be as high as 250,000, or much lower.
