Groups concerned over Ohio absentee ballot order
By ANN SANNER
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Voter rights groups in Ohio are raising questions about an order from the state’s elections chief that bans local election boards from calling or emailing people about errors on their absentee ballots.
The directive from Secretary of State Jon Husted requires boards to notify voters by mail if their ballots are invalid. Voters would then need to appear at their board during office hours to address any problems. He’s also told boards to provide accommodations for the disabled.
Groups including Common Cause Ohio and Project Vote told reporters Tuesday the order causes unnecessary delays and could possibly prevent votes from being counted. They’re concerned voters will overlook the notifications.
The groups are encouraging voters to call the boards and ask if there are problems with their absentee ballots.
Same as every presidential election, The Republicans hold power in Ohio and they cheat their way into keeping control by intentionally having ballots printed with mistakes on them but the only people getting the tainted ballots are democrats and those they think will be voting democrat.. When is the AG going to start charging people with elections fraud. This year even Tagg Romney owns all the electronic voting machines in Ohio. Talk about a conflict of interest. The state should switch to hand filled ballots to thwart this blatant attempt by the Romney’s at elections fraud..
If Romney wins Ohio I can guarantee there will be rioting in the streets and possibly all out civil war.
