Half million votes still not counted in Georgia

This from today's New York Times:

"While The Associated Press reported that Mr. Obama was leading Senator John McCain in the popular vote, 52.3 percent to 46.4 percent, with most of the precincts reporting, North Carolina and Missouri were too close to call. Without those contests, Mr. Obama had 349 electoral votes to Mr. McCain’s 162. Indiana, which was running very close into the early hours Wednesday morning, was narrowly won by Mr. Obama.

Michael McDonald, a professor and voting expert at George Mason University, estimated the popular vote total would reach133.3 million, after hundreds of thousands of absentee and provisional ballots that are still outstanding are finally counted, eclipsing the roughly 123 million voters who turned out in 2004. Mr. McDonald said there may be nearly a half million outstanding ballots in Georgia alone, and thousands more in other states — including the one with the largest turnout, California — that are still being counted."
