Report: 20% of Ohio’s Registered Voters are Bogus by Bryan Preston Bio May 28, 2013 - 11:09 am Barack Obama defeated* Mitt Romney by 166,214 votes in Ohio in 2012. That’s out of 5,489,028 votes cast. So Obama’s victory margin was just 3 percent, 50 to 47 over Romney. But 20% of Ohio’s voters should not be on the rolls at all, according to a story in the Columbus Dispatch. More than one out of every five registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote. In two counties, the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population: Northwestern Ohio’s Wood County shows 109 registered voters for every 100 eligible, while in Lawrence County along the Ohio River it’s a mere 104 registered per 100 eligible. Another 31 counties show registrations at more than 90 percent of those eligible, a rate regarded as unrealistic by most voting experts. The national average is a little more than 70 percent. Ohio’s elections chief, Secretary of State Jon Husted, sought help from Attorney General Eric Holder to clean up the state’s roles. You may have guessed how that went, as Husted is a Republican. In a Feb. 10 letter, he asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for a personal meeting to discuss how to balance seemingly conflicting federal laws so he could pare Ohio’s dirty voter list without removing truly eligible voters. “Common sense says that the odds of voter fraud increase the longer these ineligible voters are allowed to populate our rolls,” Husted said. “I simply cannot accept that.” Holder’s office has never replied. Among the ineligible voters who remain on Ohio’s rolls include 1.8 million dead people and nearly 3 million who have registered to vote in multiple states. Both of these situations are ripe for voter fraud and it just so happens that fraud did occur in the last several Ohio elections, including 2008 and 2012. Obama won both of those. h/t Human Events *Maybe. The margin of victory is well wit

So, as with Clinton, your side will insist it's a coincidence......lolol Would you prefer that we give him all of the credit? If so, he gets all of the blame for the crash too. The fact is, there is a certain amount of it that was cyclical. It was going to happen anyway. Clinton certainly did exacerbate the problem with his economic policies. And so it wasn't a coincidence that the mania got so far out of hand that we are still suffering the consequences today. Restaurants open and close all the time, in good times and bad... If the restaurant is good, they won't have to close. that has nothing to do with the discussion. And this is a bad thing? Yes, absolutely it is a bad thing. We should have learned that trying to manipulate the market upward has consequences. It happened under Clinton and it happened under Bush. Both artificially stimulated the market and both saw crashes. When we mess with the market it increases the amplitude and frequency of the market cycles. Sure the booms are fun, but the busts are a real bitch. Obama will have his bust too. Our markets are not healthy.
