This is just baffling. I saw with my own eyes the lines, and heard a continual stream of comments from other people in "red" precincts talking about the lines in Warren and Butler and Hamilton Counties.

I think I may have an idea as to why the disconnect. It occurred to me this morning when I was re-thinking my voting experience yesterday. All of the precincts that voted at the same location used to go to different tables and had their own voting booths. Yesterday, they combined four (in our case) and put all booths against a single wall. I'm not sure, but I think they REDUCED the number of machines, which would slow the process down. In addition, rather than four women taking IDs and checking names, it was only two.

I'm looking into this. It would explain the so called "turnout" when in fact there wasn't any.

Thanks for your posts/work the last few weeks. Maybe I am odd but I would rather have had a hopeful period than just a long, dark road into the abyss. Maybe it’s denial but it was a happier place for a few weeks. :)
