Local news Gannett News Service WASHINGTON Democrat Victoria Wulsin isn't giving up on her race to unseat Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District. Wulsin and the Ohio Democratic Party launched a massive effort Tuesday to get 8,600 ballots that remained uncounted as of Monday counted, but the race now hinges on lawyers and the daunting task of identifying voters in the seven-county district who voted with a provisional ballot. About 2,800 votes, currently separate Schmidt Wulsin. At issue, according to Wulsin's campaign, are ballots in which poll workers failed to ask voters for the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, as required by law.

Campaign spokesman Bryan Collinsworth said voters have until Friday to call the board of elections in their county and make sure their ballots have the required information to be counted. "It is a needle in the haystack process," Collinsworth said. But Schmidt chief of staff Barry Bennett disputed the campaign's claim, saying voters can't go back and update their ballots or provide missing forms of ID. He said he expects the uncounted ballots to break along the same percentages as the ballots that were counted, giving Schmidt a net total of about 500 votes more than Wulsin. "This is a desperate cry for help that is both not a correct interpretation of the law and not helpful to them in the end," he said.

"They just don't get mathematics." Nevertheless, Wulsin's campaign and the Hamilton County Democratic, on Party the are phone spending calling registered voters in the precincts where the highest number of provisional ballots were cast. In addition, the campaign i is launching a wave of automated phone calls to voters across the district. They also have joined the Ohio Democratic Party, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and campaign of Mary Jo Kilroy, a Columbus Democrat whose race to unseat Rep. Deborah Pryce also remained too close to call this week, in a lawsuit seeking to compel the county boards of elections to release lists of voters who cast provisional ballots. "This race is so close, and almost 9,000 voters who spoke out on Election Day have yet to have their voices heard," Wulsin said in a statement.

"We believe we can win. We also believe that no one who made the effort to vote should be disenfranchised by confusion at the polls."

Stark prepared the report based on information the Justice Department obtained through subpoenas sent to search engine companies and Internet service providers. Google refused one such subpoena for 1 million sample queries and 1 million Web addresses in its database, citing trade secrets.

A judge limited the amount of information the company had to provide. Stark also examined random sample of search-engine queries. He estimated 1.7 percent of search results at Time Warner AOL, MSN and Yahoo Inc. are sexually explicit and 1.1 percent of Web sites cataloged at Google and MSN fall Il in that category. About 6 percent of searches yield least one explicit Web site, he said, and the most popular queries return a sexually explicit site nearly 40 percent of the time.

But filters blocked 87 percent to 98 percent of the explicit results from the most popular searches on the Web, Stark found. Stark also said about half the sexually explicit Web sites found in the Google and MSN indexes are foreign, making them beyond the reach of U.S. law. But he agreed with government assertions that the most popular sites are domestic. "COPA right out of the bat doesn't block the 50 percent (posted) overseas," Hansen said.

"So COPA is substantially less than 50 percent effective." Closing arguments in the fourweek, non-jury trial before Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr. are expected Monday. The law, signed by then-President Clinton, requires Web sites to get credit card information or some other proof of age from adults who want to view material that may be considered harmful to children. It would impose a $50,000 fine and six-month prison term on commercial Web site operators that allow minors to view such content, which is to be defined by "contemporary community standards."

Eight races remained undecided Tuesday. "I always get a blank stare until I tell people that I'm from Bob Ney's district," said Space, who campaigned on the promise that he wouldn't accept any gifts or political contributions from lobbyists. Space, who represents Ohio's sprawling 16-county 18th District, said it's the system that corrupted Ney, and he intends to follow through on his pledge to push for reform. Ney pleaded guilty last month to corruption charges stemming from trips and gifts he accepted from former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff in exchange for official favors.

He's scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 19. He resigned his office Nov. 3. Space said he's been in touch with Ney, who called him last week, over the transition so there won't be a delay in constituent services.

"He was very courteous, professional. He wanted to wish me well," Space said of the Ney call. "I think he was motivated by a From Page 1A Zack Space campaign site: www.zackspace.org On the Net genuine concern for constituent services." The office will be run by the House clerk until Space is sworn in Jan. 3, an event Space plans to celebrate with his wife, Mary, two children, and a busload of supporters from Ohio. It'll be an historic occasion as Space is likely to be sworn in by the nation's first female House speaker, California Rep.

Nancy Pelosi, who is expected to win the top spot in the Democraticcontrolled House. As a freshman, Space won't be as powerful as Ney, who served as chairman of the House Administration Committee before his ouster earlier this year. But Space is in the majority party, and was hopeful he could land a plum assignment on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Ohio Democratic Reps.
