It's starting... in Ohio

On FOX8-tv News in CLE OH (MY transcription...)

ANCHOR: Well, another problem with the Cuyahoga Board of Elections with absentee ballots.The good news that this one can be fixed before next month's election. About FIFTEEN HUNDRED BALLOTS similar to these have been sent out with THE WRONG PARTY AFFILIATIONS given to the candidates IN HOUSE DISTRICT SEVEN which includes Euclid, South Euclid, Richmond Hts. and parts of Cleveland.

Now the Board will CANCEL those ballots and SEND A LETTER to those affected voters to explain the problem and send them a new CORRECTED ballot.

In response to the question: HOW IS THIS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE MAY PRIMARY FIASCO...

MICHAEL VU, EMBATTLED CUY CTY BOE OFFICIAL: NO THIS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION than ANYTHING that happened in May's election. (Vu quickly changes the subject -Ed.) And one of the things is, that we have so many different candidates and so many different issues and we have to prove all of those respective candidates and issues and this one got past us.

ANCHOR: Vu notes that voters MUST vote one the NEW corrected Absentee Ballot because the old one will be cancelled.

billorightsmanCOMMENT:

So, all those folks who got the MIS-PRINTED absentee ballots with THE WRONG PARTY AFFILIATION and sent them in and went on VACATION, THINKING they had VOTED, will now be DISENFRANCHISED by Michael Vu's MISTAKE?

1. I'm sorry, but Ohio has taken the lead over Florida as the

most fucked up state when it comes to elections!!

Does everyone involved in the election process in Ohio have their heads up their asses?
(DU Poll workers excluded, of course).

This shit is getting old. We are a democracy in name, only...and that's stretching it.

3. So the BOE sends out bad absentee voter applications and

just by chance the people sign up on the bad application and
then just by chance their vote is now put into doubt?

Michael Vu better pray that we don't get power because that
little shit has some real questions to answer to.

6. So this is how it's gonna go down?

Minor, seemingly "innocent" mistakes like this one, in every precinct, all across OH (and the Land?), shaving a few ballots here, shaving a few ballots there.

This scheme seems eerily similar to the alleged "gaff" by fauxnews, putting "FOLEY-D" up on the screen during O'Liely's show.

And all VU's got is, "Oh we have SO MUCH to do! It's SO confusing!"

Gimme a break. Do your job or resign already.

8. This is about the time

of year that Ohio Snowbirds start heading for Florida. The timeing would indeed disenfranchise those voters.
