Shift in Ohio vote tallies after election not a sign of 'something nefarious,' secretary of state says

EXCLUSIVE: As officials in the key battleground state of Ohio prepare for an unprecedented surge in mail-in ballots for the 2020 presidential election, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose wants to make it clear that any shift in voting tallies after Election Day should not be taken as an indication of wrongdoing.

More than two million Ohio residents requested mail-in ballot applications prior to the start of early voting on Tuesday, doubling the count at the same time in 2016 and 2012. Ballots in the state are counted for up to 10 days after Election Day -- as long as they are postmarked by Nov. 2 -- meaning that election results displayed on the night of Nov. 3 will be unofficial and include all votes received through any method by 7:30 p.m. local time.

LaRose, a Republican, said the state will have “pretty conclusive” results on election night if early returns show President Trump or Democratic nominee Joe Biden winning the state by a wide margin.

They are straight up admitting that they intend to keep on cheating after the election until they’ve stolen it.

The state legislature needs to change that now.

As for North East Ohio, those polls are BS, Trump signs are up three to one easy.

In 2016 when Trump carried Ohio, Trump signs were very scarce.

Yup. The Left is constructing a narrative to deny an election-eve win for Pres Trump. “Why, we can’t call the election for [fill-inthe blank state], all the mail-in votes haven’t been harvested, I mean returned.”

Well, this Republican Secretary of State is fighting the good fight against voter fraud while fulfilling legal requirements.

What about ballots without a postmark?

Also, if Ohio publishes results as of election night, that tells the demons how many votes to manufacture.

Democrat definition of a manufacturing job: Operatives who produce ballots.

Then you should know exactly by the end of the night how many ballots were sent out, how many have been returned and how many are outstanding and can publish how many are left.

Right?

Oh... you CAN’T?! How do you verify the election otherwise?

We don’t have mail in balloting in Ohio. We have absentee ballots that must be requested, verified, and post received before election day.

BS. Any shift? Really? So you've already made up your mind? Sounds like a prejudice in any investigation of potential voter fraud.

“up to 10 days after Election Day”

So, they’re saying it might take ten days for a letter to get from some town in Ohio to that town’s COUNTY election office?

We must have forensic audits of ALL mail in ballots, nationwide.
