Or you get the names of registered GOP/IND voters and you have people showing up at the polls at 8 AM claiming to be one of them and voting for Obama. Then when the real person shows up, they are told they already voted.

Imagine thousands of people being told they had already voted, but the vote was by imposters.

This would throw the OH election into chaos-which is the purpose.

[randita]

Or you have people using voter information to get absentee ballots. Can you still get absentee ballots in OH, or is it too late?

When people get desperate, they get stupid.

You have to show a valid ID before voting in Ohio

You have to have ID to vote on election day.

I sure don’t trust the associated press reporting this.

The State Highway Patrol is investigating? What in hell would they know about database forensics?! Where is the FBI?

[austinaero]

So the site has been disabled on purpose by the Ohio SoS?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

This is ACORN nuts!!!

Enough time to get bogus ID’s made up?

“What’s to say they didn’t alter the database by inserting thousands of fictitious voters? Then when the fictitious voters are registered and compared to the previous database, no errors show up... “

Simple. Compare it to the backups.

[gracesdad]

“A wealth of election-related information is stored on the Web site. Missing from it Monday night were detailed records of campaign finance information, results from previous elections and a database of Ohio voters.”

From what I read this does NOT mean all this stuff was stolen and is gone. This is part of the site that the SOS office has temporarily shut down and can’t be accessed for now.

The state highway patrol is investigating the breaches

Huh??? Ok, the internet is the information highway, but is this how Ohio investigates fraud and theft?

Its entirely possible, but highly unlikely. It would give them time to vote absentee and cause havoc at the polls on election day.

For the first time I will not be working in my home precinct so it is going to be difficult to claim that someone is not who they say they are.

More voter fraud. This is probably an inside job by democrats to commit voter fraud and/or destroy evidence of obvious voter fraud.

[9YearLurker]

Oh, of course, absentee.

[detective]

As we speak they are setting up checkpoints along major highways in Ohio to make sure they catch whoever did this.
What a joke the Ohio election has become. Obvious fraud and no one doing anything about it. The Democrat Secretary of State is working hand and hand with Acorn and the Obama campaign to steal the election.
