Newsmax Ohio Voting Count 'Nightmare' Looms Thursday,, November 1 2012 01:07 PM By: David A. Patten and Jim Meyers
With the presidential election expected to hinge on Ohio, the state’s former secretary of state, GOP stalwart Kenneth Blackwell, is warning that a little-known change in the Buckeye State’s absentee-ballot process could lead to a “nightmare scenario.”

Well, WE’LL JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT ROMNEY SLAUGHTERS OBAMA SO BAD, NONE OF THIS WILL MATTER.
Wondering if this was a “ on purpose” move? Ohio is so important
So millions of people are going to show up and be told that they must cast a provisional ballot? THEN ten days later they are going to count them? Unless Romney takes enough other states to get over 270 EC votes, we won’t know the winner of the election for many more days.
P.S. Hopefully the people of Ohio will demand that their state representatives change this foolish law.
This is the kind of problematic complexity that’s added when you take a simple process (go vote) and make it “more
convenient”.
With very few exceptions, there is no reason for early voting, absentee voting etc...other than to muddy the waters of the result.
He’ll have to take most of the tossup states to make this moot.
If Romney can win Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, he’ll have enough electoral votes to win regardless of Ohio.
In which case ‘rat challenges to the OH vote may simply disappear...
Will the Black Panthers supply poll watchers again?
... Oh sorry, that was Philly, not Ohio.
Nevermind.
I know a salesman who travels the freeways of California on a daily basis. He said one day it dawned on him; NO OBAMA 2012 BUMPER STICKERS!!! Then he started looking for them amidst the sea of cars.. He says his daily count is 3 AT THE MOST ON HEAVY TRAFFIC DAYS, AND THIS IS IN CALIFORNIA!!!

The voting process had been corrupted on purpose. No one should even be able to get an absentee ballot unless their is no way that they can show up and vote in person. That is the way it used to be. And get rid of that early voting crap!. If we need more places to vote then provide them on election day.
Now we have to watch waste bins, dumps, and recycling centers to keep Democrats from scrounging the trash for votes.
Meanwhile, planeloads of democrat slip and fall lawyers descend upon Ohio inventing hanging chad type complaints to desparately try to steal a close one.
“With very few exceptions”
The legitimate ones in my opinion are:
1. legal inability to show up, say you’re in the military and can’t go home without being AWOL;
2. physical inability, and I’m talking iron lung, not trick knee;
3. or possibly religious inability, say the goat god Pan won’t let you hold pencils on Tuesday’s.

We have to pray that it’s a rout. (I believe it will be), but can you imagine 2000 all over again with the current political atmosphere?
We’re talking tanks in the street
It wasn’t a law, it was an error by our Sec State who sent absentee ballot applications to almost all voters instead of just those requesting them.
That said, I think this whole fear is overblown. The only people having to vote provisionally are those who REQUESTED absentee ballots but then go to the polls to vote. That is no different than in previous years.
The fact that more people requested absentee ballots could make for a rise in provisionals, but a lot of people wait until the last minute to send in their absentee ballots.
Some people like me travel as part of their business. Sometimes people cannot be in their hometown on election day.
Early voting gives those people a chance to vote as well as increasing voter turnout overall.
Its a good thing. Who cares how people vote, as long as they only vote once.
Only if the judgement time is over, and His people have turned their faces to Him and asked for mercy.
