Any political analyst knows the Republicans can’t win the presidency without Ohio. The numbers just aren’t there. Combine that with an incompetent state administration and you’ve got a recipe for Democrat hijinks and official idiocy that should make Ohio a center of confusion and dispute on election day.
The major problem? Democrat-sponsored mail-in voting and the inherent potential for fraud and mismanagement. A case in point.
Fox News: “Nearly 50,000 voters in Franklin County — Ohio’s most populous county — received incorrect absentee ballots in the mail, elections officials said Friday, revealing a major glitch that appeared to affect one in five ballots the county had sent so far. Officials promised to have new ballots mailed within three days to the 49,669 voters who received the wrong ones.”
Breaking News: 50,000 OHIO VOTERS getting WRONG ABSENTEE BALLOTS. Out of control. A Rigged Election!!!

“We want to make it clear that every voter who received an inaccurate ballot will receive a corrected ballot,” an official with the Ohio state election board said Friday. Good luck pal, if this is an example of your efficiency level.
“No vote will be counted twice. Every voter will receive an accurate ballot and that ballot will be counted,” Franklin county Elections Director Ed Leonard said. “While this process has taken longer than we’d like, we aren’t just determining a number. We’re determining and identifying each impacted voter,” Leonard said Thursday. Sure you are Ed. Then there’s this morsel.
Federal Judge Dan Polster, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, ruled Thursday that limiting counties to one dropbox location had a “disproportionate effect on people of color” and placed a “significant burden” on their voting rights. I see. Only white people can find the location for the right dropbox. Uh huh. Makes perfect sense.
“While it may be said that the 7,903 registered voters in Noble County may find a single dropbox location sufficient, the record demonstrates that the 858,041 registered voters in Cuyahoga County will likely not,” judicial embarrassment Polster wrote in the likely crayon scribbled note that passes for a ruling amongst Clinton appointees to the federal bench.
And to finish the mix, Ohio state election official Merle Madrid said Thursday, “People’s emotions are high this election. Poll workers’ emotions are high, voters’ emotions are high. What we don’t want to do is have those emotions overtake the situation.” So, guess what he’s expecting?
