Ohio just eliminated the need for everyone wanting an absentee ballot to avoid writing out of town on application. My entire county went to absentee voting a couple years ago. I guess they figured it's less expensive than setting up and manning polling places.

The problem with what they're doing in Ohio is that they allowing registration and absentee voting on the same day until October 6. That leaves insufficient time to determine whether the "voter" is qualified to vote. It's a Dem/ACORN fraud enabler, imo.

Ohio Dems banning election monitors too. What are they hiding? >>>Normally in an election, partisan election monitors are allowed into polling places so that they can police each other. But not in two counties, Franklin and Montgomery, in Ohio. Brunner also issued an advisory opinion to counties saying that they are not required to allow election monitors.<<<< ------------------------------- Ohio Dem Secretary of State Bans Observers From Same Day Registration & Voting!! Unbelievable! Ohio Secretary of State Democrat Jennifer Brunner is behind a new rule in the state that allows Ohio citizens to register and vote on the same day. That law went into effect today. Jennifer Brunner has also directed county boards of elections to deny absentee ballots to thousands of qualified Ohio electors who support Senator John McCain who fail to check a box that was not mandated by Ohio law. Later today The Next Right reported that Brunner is banning observers from polling stations! Here's this unbelievable video of an election observer be turned away: The Next Right has more: Early voting is taking place in Ohio. Through the end of the week, people can register and vote on the same day. The Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner argues that they are merely "casting their ballot" rather than "voting" so the fact that Ohio statute requires 30 days between registering and voting would not interfere. So here is what is happening today. People are showing up to register and vote. There is no affirmative evidence that these people have not registered or voted somewhere else. There is no control. Normally in an election, partisan election monitors are allowed into polling places so that they can police each other. But not in two counties, Franklin and Montgomery, in Ohio. Brunner also issued an advisory opinion to counties saying that they are not required to allow election monitors. This follows the news earlier today that the Obama Campaign is holding "Get out the Muslim Vote" drives at swing state mosques. Michelle Malkin has more video from Ohio of homeless men being trucked to the polls to vote for Obama. POSTED BY GATEWAY PUNDIT gatewaypundit.blogspot.com
