Ohio: Vote Early, Vote Often [Update]
By Matthew Weaver on October 5, 2008 at 9:40 PM in Barack Obama, Ohio, Voter Fraud
Truthteller here: Although I disagree with Ohio’s new voter registration arrangement, I intend to register and vote tomorrow at one of the early voting locations in the state. Please contact voters in Ohio who oppose Obama, and ask them to register and vote tomorrow if they are not already registered. Tomorrow is the last day one can register to vote in the November election in Ohio.
“Vote Early and Often” takes on new meaning in the twisted and abused registration and voting process now underway in Ohio this year from September 30 through October 6. It is not as if Ohio, like Florida, has not seen its share of voting challenges in past elections, but it appears that they are out to outdo their past reputation to create a voting result that is not legit or reflective of the state’s residents.
- A person can register to vote through October 6th, even without identification. You simply need to state that you are a citizen of the United States, will be 18 on or before the election date, a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days by election date, are not incarcerated for a felony, not declared incompetent for voting purposes, or have not been permanently disenfranchised for violations of the election laws. Although a valid Ohio driver’s license is requested for identification, one is not required. If not available, the last four digits of your Social Security number are requested, but not required. Thereafter, nothing is required but your signature (Voter Registration Instructions, Ohio Revised Code Section 3503.28 and Voter Registration Form).
- Once you’ve registered, “Any qualified Ohio voter may request and vote an absentee ballot without stating a reason.” Thus, while still at the board of elections office, as an absentee voter (no reason required) you then “request, receive and vote your ballot” (Ohio Elections & Ballot Issues: Absentee Voting)
- “Voters who do not have….identification, will still be able to vote by signing an affirmation swearing to the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot.” (Voter Registration Instructions, Ohio Revised Code Section 3503.28).
On August 13, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D) set this up by issuing “a directive advising county elections boards that they must have procedures in place to allow voters who register to be immediately issued an absentee ballot.” (Associated Press, New Ohio Voter Registration Rules Irk GOP). Apparently only college towns were initially implementing this directive. And the AP reported that the Obama campaign was eagerly taking advantage of this. Obama spokesman Isaac Baker is quoted saying “This is one of many ways we’ll be encouraging our supporters to skip the lines on Election Day and make sure their vote is cast early.” Republicans question the loophole and its inconsistent implementation–not offering the same voting opportunity to rural and working-class voters. The loophole: Normally voter registration applications are subject to review before a voter registration card is issued (disputed Ohio law says a person must be registered 30 days prior to requesting an absentee ballot). As the AP notes, this lack of security and review raises fears of “massive voting fraud.”
As if voter fraud wasn’t a concern, Secretary of State Brunner has decided that counties may use their discretion about whether to allow poll watchers or not during registration and early voting. As the Wall Street Journal reports, poll watchers have been turned away in at least one location. But poll watchers are of limited value since even if allowed to observe, they are “no longer allowed to challenge voters at polling places, but may gather information to challenge them later.” With electronic voting, that makes challenges meaningless.
Former Ohio Secretary of State Jim Petro has spoken out against Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner’s recent directive against poll watchers:
[Update: removed link temporarily to see if display problem is cleared]
After October 6 through election day previously registered voters will be able to visit their local board of elections offices to vote. Again, without identification, without oversight of poll watchers.
Further undermining Ohio voting integrity, state law requires that election officials send out notices to registered voters 60 days before an election. NPR reports that as many as 600,000 were “returned as undeliverable”–e.g., the address was invalid or the named person did not reside at that address. While normally this would cause or permit challenge of the voter registration, Secretary of State Brunner decided this year that it would not. Thus, over half a million potentially fraudulent votes might be cast this year!
NPR also reports that as of September 30th, at least five lawsuits have been filed regarding Ohio’s voting process for this election. Lawsuits challenging same day registration and voting have now been thrown out. Likewise, the Wall Street Journal reports that lawsuits challenging poll watcher access have also been thrown out. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who previously pledged “complete transparency in the election process” is now fighting what she says are “expensive and time-consuming” lawsuits because of the lack of transparency she has created.
The Result?
The Obama campaign and supporters are dredging homeless shelters, halfway houses, soup kitchens, bars, and alleys for potential voters. Others, like Rock-the-Vote, are hitting up high schools. Numerous reports explain how these new voters are driven to the polls, coached on how to register and vote, then driven to locations of their choosing. Without registration integrity, nor requirement to even have identification, there is no way to know if the person is legally eligible to vote, nor if they have already voted. The likely result:
- Under age voting
- Non-resident voting
- Felons voting
- Repeat voting
Yes, in Ohio this year you can vote early and often.
Please don’t get me wrong. I firmly believe that every effort should be made to encourage and get eligible voters to become informed and cast their vote. But to set up a registration and voting process that does not provide security against fraudulent voting risks the integrity of the election process and the results. And then, to deny observers access to monitor the election removes the any legitimacy to the process.
I personally worked as an election precinct worker and precinct chief on behalf of the Democratic Party in Virginia for many years. We were trained by the office of elections, had rules in place to follow, had observers to monitor the process. I was very comfortable that I was part of a legitimate effort that resulted in an open and fair election. I am appalled by what is occurring at the state’s direction in Ohio.
Is the integrity of the Ohio vote being undermined?
The short answer is Yes. There are too many news and blog reports to list that tell and show problems with the voting. Will it throw the election? I don’t know. Will anyone be able to say so definitively? Probably not. But what will be indisputable is that the election results will be suspect.

ADMINISTRATOR PLEASE DO A POST ON THIS STORY. THE FOREIGN PRESS COVERING WHAT OUR MISSING PRESS WON’T.
I’m putting this up in a post in a few minutes…I have a “history” with an columnist at The Australian who wrote a really miserable piece (”inspired” by me”) which was quite disrespectful towards McCain as he driveled over Obama….
http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com
Thanks, I will go and take a peek. You rock…
WOW! that Australian piece is a great article and very factual!
Thanks so much.
we need FBI to get involve. We are talking about millions voters as froud!!!
Death, illegals and who know who???
It should be national investigation , and responsible should answer THE REAL QUESTIONs!!! How this can be ignore, unbelievable!!! Froud must be punished!!!!
” NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”!!!
Sorry, but the voting system in CA is just about as corrupt as Ohio. You do not have to be 18 or a legal citizen but just check the box that says yes to these questions. In CA proof of voter identification can be a valid photo ID that is current (makes no further stipulation so any quasi/legal looking ID, such as company or school ID seems to be all you need) OR current utility bill, bank statement,government check,paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter (easy to phony this type of thing, ACORN probably travels with documents that can be used). If you live under a tree or bridge all you have to do is put an x on a map and give the names of cross streets. You can use a drivers license number as validation. Getting a drivers license in CA does not require proof of citizenship and I doubt they check age or other identifiers, just if the number exist. If you have no dl or ss# they will give you a unique ID number. And, These identification requirements only apply to elections in which there is a federal office on the ballot. And how many provisional ballots do you think they really bother to investigate in CA?
This is loke Cuba! Obama is our version of Fidel Castro. there should be set up legal challenges to provisional votes all prepared for filing on Nov.6th! BTW. Obama is probably s citizen of more than one country. It is obvious by the way he ALWAYS refers to the USA as this country. NEVER OUR COUNTRY!
i posted on hear awhile ago i found this story in my local paper. dead people coming out in droves.
Rasmussen seems to be playing fast and lose with their samples. Wondering how the rest are doing it?
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/adjusting-the-samples/
Are we now geting to a point where whoever cheats the most efectively wins? The same methods are being used in my state and were used in the primary. When the unity pony goes lame, you just cheat. Damn, the Democrats seem to be trying to outdo the Republicans in voter fraud this time. At this rate the only recourse Pumas might have would be to give Canada an immigration problem. I have never been naive enough to believe that politics was lily pure, but this is just unbearable.
Beth, I believe that’s exactly what is going on.
This is my take on history. A group of bad Democrats—the Obama gang—got sick and tired of watching Republicans put degenerate traitors and incompetents into office, merely because Republicans cheat.
They decided to beat the Republicans at their own game. That’s what’s happening.
Needless to say, if the Democrats have started cheating in earnest, the Republicans don’t stand a chance.
This is outrageous. This is criminal. I cannot believe the Ohio Supreme Court went along with this.
I read some where that Ohio has 800,000 new registered voters this year. If 600,000 voter registration notices were returned as undeliverable then that means that 75% of these newly registered voters are most likely fraudulent.
“While normally this would cause or permit challenge of the voter registration, Secretary of State Brunner decided this year that it would not. Thus, over half a million potentially fraudulent votes might be cast this year!”
And the above is the most unbelievable and outrageous of all. Challenges of these registrations should be allowed. I cannot believe this is happening in America.
HELP!!!!!!! SOS!!!!!!!!!
The OH supreme court evidently interpreted OH law to allow this outcome. (Hint: in most state laws I reviewed, the Secretary of State is given jurisdiction over elections in the state. This includes promulgating any rules and regulations necessary to carry out these elections. The OH S of S, an ardent supporter of BO, assumed jurisdiction under the law to oversee elections in her state. And the OH supreme court evidently found she had carried out her ministerial duties and exercised her discretion in a way that was neither capricious and arbitrary; nor contrary to law.
OH voters must now, through their elected representatives, change the law.
(This decision by state courts does not preclude federal action, based on alleged violations of federally protected rights.)
I just checked my Ohio notification card, mailed to me, telling me I am registered to vote and my polling location.
On the back of it it says, “Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify identity….”
So based on this post, I, who registered ahead of time, have to provide ID, but same day registration-voters, or homeless people, get to vote without ID. ???? !!!!! ????
Observers at these same day locations were turned away. Are observers going to be allowed to watch when these votes are counted to make sure that citizenship and identity are validated? And who checks out of state college kids? There are more than 5 colleges in Columbus and within an hour of OSU. Are they voting in both this state and their home state by absentee ballot, thus voting twice?
I feel like a second class citizen in my own state and country. I play by the rules and I have to show ID.
And the conservative Ohio Supreme Court approves of this? I am beginning to fell like I live in a banana state.
‘SNL’ Skit Blames Democrats For Financial Crisis
I have stopped watching then I found this…and yes they do blame the dems…finally some truth.
Jeebus, how could this ever go unchallenged by the Republicans???
It was challenged by the Republicans and the judge ruled it was not in violation of anything.
This is just crazy. Now the democrats are like the republicans. Nice to see that cheating seems to be the only way to win.
More proof that Obama is just like Bush.
Wake up, ACORN, MoveOn.org, Rock The Vote, etc. are all Dem backed “community organizations” that have been illegally registering people for years and years. They particularly have been active in neighborhoods where it is common knowlege that illegal aliens live. They were even caught on tape years ago in the Mission District in San Franciso telling the people in Spanish that they did not have to prove citizenship so just check the box that says you are. I have been furious all these years about this situation. The courts do nothing with the evidence and the “community organizations” just blame the individuals who were working for them (most of whom cannot be found when the truth comes out).
Ana, the cheating started early in the
Democratic primary:

I saw a you tube the other day where a poll watcher was turned away in Ohio. Press could come in and watch but no one else. Sorry I don’t have the link but I will look for it and post if I find it.
The link, actually several of them are on Michelle Malkin’s web site.
Voter Fraud Alert- Poll Observer Turned Away in Ohio

I should have refreshed.Thanks
30 Yr Dem, Ana
Thanks for this link. i was looking for it too!
There has to be something that can be done about this. I hear the former secretary of State of Ohio ask for election observers. I’d be happy to do this. Can’t we call in people from other contries to observe our election and see what a farce it has become?
Problem is the current Sec’y of State has reinterpreted the law as to allow counties to not permit observers. So far the GOP has not been able to reverse this. I wonder why the ACLU, maybe even Jimmy Carter hasn’t gotten involved? Especially the latter as he has made a great reputation by going around and observing elections.
Where is our attorney general, Something has to be done about the outrageous Ohio registration and that Brunner broad. This can’t be happening in America, but here it is, I guess the judges are in line too with this crazy socialist bunch. God save us please.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I never heard to vote early for Prersident. I know, early vote for city officials, for presidential candidates but never for presidential election. The triumph of Chicagoans, are the fraudulent votes. VENI VIDI VICI.
This almost makes me physically ILL. Why do I see so little about this in the Conservative Blogosphere? Aren’t THEY alarmed and upset? This Ohio free for all is an open ended invitation for fraud.
She keeps changing the laws to suit Obama…he did say he was glad a dem had control for the election. He is a total fraud.
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is an insult to the integrity of the office she holds. The Buckeye state and our country deserve better. Like Sen Claire Caskill and her Obama goon squads in Missouri, Brunner is marching in lock step with Caskill’s fuhrer and his SS neo-nazi Obamacratic party. These so called “leaders” are pathetic. They should be given a cram course in totalitarianism, but by all appearances, they don’t need one. They’re already entrenched in it. I no longer recognize the United States of America.
If Hillary were the nominee and this was going on, would it be an issue? Answer honestly please.
Kelvin hates PUMAS: Get over Hillary already! Man you guys trash her then pull her out of the trash every time you need her then throw her back!
Just to calm a few nerves in here. I live in Ohio and this one week of registering and voting all on the same day produced very little voter turn out. Just thought you would want to know.
Good, I here in NC where one of my girls lives that voter registration is way up, she seem to think +200,000.
I thought about voting early in Ohio but decided to wait until November. A man outside of the Board of Elections asked me if I voted, and I told him, “A lot can happen before election day” and kept walking. He looked at me like I was crazy and told me that was my right, lol
There is no way the Republicans in Ohio are going to just look the other way.
They must have something up their sleeve.
I really don’t think Obama’s name is going to be on the ballot in November.
Fox News has covered this some on Fox and friends. I know the GOP lost in court but she lost also when she tried to throw out a bunch of republican registrations.(1,200 or 1,800) A box was not checked, the judge ruled that they were good because Ohio does not require it.
You’d think we were living in some third world country.
I have to ask, is it me or is this page messed up?
How so? It appears fine for me.
Excellent reporting. Scary stuff.
I had to show ID just to request an absentee ballot here in Ohio.. It was required here.
I have heard a utility bill works???
You can print the Ohio absentee ballot application off the internet.
For those who where watching the Hannity program on Obama, I have now posted part 3 of the program video in that thread:

Matthew-
Thanks very much !
30yrdem, Mine is messed up too and soooooo slow.
I covered this in a post the other day. This and many other examples are firm proof that the election is being manipulated to give Obama the presidency. Its a done deal. There is nothing anyone can do about it, beyond a revolution.
I think it has something to do with Africa. Look for the press to start talking about issues in Africa either right before the election or immediately after Obama gets inagurated.
The question in the VP debate about Darfur made me think if Obama became president that’s where the next war will be.
Obama’s all about War!!
Defeat and run from Iraq and have greater wars in Afganistan and Pakistan.
What a FOOL!!
No wonder the troops don’t like him!
Touchet-
I have wondered the same thing about issues pertaining to Africa- especially when I found out that Dr Susan Rice was brought on as a political advisor to Sen Obama.
Speculation on my part BUT:
SEN OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED, NOR HAS HE VOLUNTEERED HIS POSITION ON REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY.
I was disturbed during the primary as to why Sen. Obama & his campaign always kept bringing up race in this race.
I believed that this race should be about votes-his votes in Congress.
I posted a ‘Shout out’ to Sen Obama and his campaign- This is what I wrote:
Sen Obama, if you want to keep this public discourse on the topic of race, then I will oblige one more time so that we can hopefully FINALLY move on to your voting record in Congress-where you have consistently sabotaged attempts to solve problems that affect middle class Americans.
Is it true that you supported 3rd ward Ald. Dorothy Tillman in her runoff (which she ultimately lost) against independent Pat Dowell” last year?

Ms Tillman has an impressive record in the civil rights movement-no doubt.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Tillman
She is also one of the leading and outspoken U.S advocates of reparations for slavery.
What is your position on reparations for slavery in the U.S?
What about reparations for slavery from western, ex-colonial powers for Africa and African nations? I understand that during the 2001 UN-sponsored World Conference against Racism, many African nations demanded an apology-plus other things- from ex-colonial European nations for the role they (European nations) had in promoting the slave trade.
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/africa/09/01/durban.slavery/index.html
“Africa calls for slavery apology” , cnn.com, 9/0/01
“DURBAN, South Africa — African leaders have called on the U.S. and Europe to apologize for their part in the colonial slave trade but are divided on whether to insist on reparations.”
Interesting article (see below) which may allow us to infer what Sen Obama’s position on reparations issue MIGHT BE:

“When Barry Became Barack” by Richard Wolffe, Jessica Ramirez and Jeffrey Bartholet
NEWSWEEK 3/31/08 Issue
I found this story very interesting however I was quiet surprised when I reached the last page.
The author recounted a story that was passed on to Sen Obama by white family members concerning an incident at a waikiki bar involving Sen Obama’s bio-dad Barry Sr.
“Barry’s white grandfather and several other Hawaiian friends take Barry Sr. to a Waikiki bar. It’s a joyous scene, everyone eating and drinking “to the sounds of a slack-key guitar,” when a white man with a booming voice announces to the bartender that he shouldn’t have to drink “next to a nigger.” The stunned clientele expects a fight. But Barry Sr. smiles and quietly lectures the man “about the folly of bigotry, the promise of the American dream, and the universal rights of man.”
In response, the shamed white man gives Barry Sr. $100, in apparent payment for his sin of racism. Even the young Obama found the tale hard to believe.
But many years later, he recalls in “Dreams From My Father,” he got a phone call from a Japanese-American man who had been a classmate of Barry Sr.’s in Hawaii. Unprompted, the man told Obama the same story.
Obama says he was struck by the man’s tone of “disbelief—and hope.”
************
P.S I cant confirm this however I had heard somewhere that John Conyers was working on a bill in Congress to help make this (reparations for slavery) happen.
Can anyone confirm or refute this & PLEASE provide source link.
Can you be more specific, Touchet?
I saw on Fox this morning that people in Ohio who haven’t been there for up to FOUR YEARS, can still vote there if they say they intend to return someday.
So people who do not live in a swing state, can vote in Ohio, even if they haven’t been there for 4 years or less.
umm according the article above anyone from anyone can vote. You just fill out a piece of paper promising you are being truthful.
My comments are full screen and ads are at bottom.
someone needs to go register and then vote and record it on hidden camera. Be from out of town or something then give it to the media.
I thought about that too. I have heard some strange things are going on. I heard one morning that a guy came there and voted and was getting back on the bus to go back home to Chicago. We won’t know how many bad votes till after the election.

His piece was incredibly disrespectful toward John McCain, the rant of a an aging radical….
PS..I hat-tipped Woman Voter and NQ
It’s war folks, It looks like the Obama Campaign wants to play with fire…
All the gunships need to be fired now…. Obama is going more dirty than ever..
I don’t understand how Ohio can do this. It’s so unfair to their voters. How can you verify a homeless person isn’t really being bussed in from out of state even?
Putting up with this kind of crap is getting really OLD!!
This is just so stupid. FL and MI were disqualified because they voted early? Why dosen’t the FEC disqualify OH for suspected voting practices? I believe if any state doesn’t try to at lease perform a valid registration and voting practice, Federal funds should be sanctioned against them.
maybe this is the plan, you ever thought of that.

http://www.pollster.com/blogs/50_8_and_october_some_historic.php
Saturday’s Gallup tracking poll revealed two big numbers for Obama. Obama hit 50% in the tracking poll and took an 8% lead over McCain. This isn’t the first time that Obama has hit the 50% mark, and it isn’t the first time he has held a lead of 8%; but now we are in the last month of the campaign and numbers like these in October usually mean electoral success in November.
Using Gallup’s compendium of presidential trial heat polling since 1936, I counted 16 candidates who received 50% support or higher in an October Gallup
poll. Hitting the 50% mark was a very good predictor of victory. Of those 16 candidates, just two failed to win the general election–Al Gore and Thomas Dewey.
Now we should factor in 50% +8 a week *after* the first debate…
Bush had the first debate, all the firsts are gone in this race.
===========================================
I think the difference is that Gore, Dewey, whomever weren’t CRIMINALS who associate with TERRORISTS and CONVICTED FELONS. I still have high hopes that everything disgusting about Obama will make people change their votes. It’s less than a month, but we can do it. I have never believed this country is so f**king stupid that they would let that Muslim terrorist in the White House.
Bush was the worst president ever. Obama doesn’t even have to try hard and he’ll be better than him.
No worries, Obama won’t need to even break a sweat because he’s not going near the WH unless he takes a tour.
Could the federal government be brought into to investigate whether out of state people are being bussed into Ohio for early voting and registration? Don’t things go under federal jurisdiction when they cross state lines?
Hey NoQuarter sorry for the Off Topic but John Kass is out with some advice for McCain

Comment by Francis | 2008-10-06 00:32:30
While you are all circle-jerking about Hannity’s hit piece tonight, Obama is about to lower the boom on McCain’s Keating 5 days.
All’s fair in the guilt by association game, eh?
===========================================
Hey Troll, nice try. McCain was cleared of all of that nonsense a long time ago. Boy is THAT a big fat act of DESPERATION by Obama. ROFLMAO.
Its all they have.
Meanwhile Mayor Rudy Guiliani is Holding in his hot little hands a nice bundle of discovery regarding Obama’s Missing years at Columbia!!!
Do You Know Enough About Barack Obama?
Is there More You Need to Know?
YOU BETCHA!!
Good lord, McCain ran against George Bush. Everyone knows that old story. If that’s all the terrorist lover has got….I say bring it on!
Speaking of character assassination, let’s not forget that BY FAR the most awful smears ever made against John McCain were put out by his fellow Republicans.
Remember how a group of pro-Bush Republicans disseminated scrofulous smears against John McCain in the 2000 primary? The Republicans were smearing a Viet Nam War hero to win a primary.
Of course, they then went on to smear another Viet Nam hero—John Kerry–in 2004. I don’t know why Republicans hate Viet Nam vets so much.
Anyway, it’s was things like this that have convinced me that–for all their protestations of patriotism–Republicans are basically traitors.
The years 2000-2006 have confirmed this belief. I was hoping for a decent Democrat like Hillary to get in there and get these people out of our government, but the Obama people hit us with a club.
Its unfortunate Obama doesn’t have any outstanding or heroic service to his country in his short and murky history that speaks about his love for or service to country that can be swiftboated.
Looks like those dirty Republicans are out of luck since Obama is so clean.

Voter Fraud…
In the United States of America…who would have thought.
If the Democrats do it, it’s voter fraud, and the Democrats are criminals.
If the Repubs do it, it’s hardball politics and the Repubs are geniuses.
Voter Fraud? Why Worry about a little thing like Voter fraud?

The actions in Ohio are exactly what has been causing the accusations from Republicans of voter fraud resulting in the strictest litmus test for voting coming out of states like mine, Florida.
I never understood the accusations before regarding voter fraud. I know, in Florida, we now have to show our Drivers license to vote and our address better match what is on the voter roll. The registration card we receive is worth nothing. Many here don’t have D.L.’s and therefore can’t vote. Ohio’s decision will result in MORE voter disenfranchisement after this election cycle. And frankly, now I understand why.
