Ohio results won’t be known for at least 10 days after Nov 3.

A tsunami of Democrats seeking ballots through the mail in this pandemic-plagued presidential election year is upending the very dynamics of voting in Ohio.

The impact of this ground-shaking change shows up in two major ways:

• The outcome of the presidential race in the bellwether Buckeye State appears even more unpredictable than usual.

• Ohio could be among the states where election fraud is alleged simply because the leader in the presidential vote could shift dramatically on election night and possibly shift back a week-and-a-half later.

Key points:

--Trump is likely to lead the Election Night in-person vote

—Mail ballots accepted for 10 days if postmarked by Nov 3. But no interim results announced before 10 days

[Sarah Barracuda]

This is how it will work..Trump will be ahead on election night, but a week or two later when the Dems know how many votes they need to “win” they will “Find” hundreds of thousands of votes giving them the win

[Lurkinanloomin]

This is how they told us they were going to steal the election.

[Cowboy Bob]

If someone gets an absentee ballot boxes n September, why wait until November to mail it?

[MinorityRepublican]

Do you think we will just watch and sit at home as we see the Democrats steal the election from us.

[LIConFem]

And will the war start on the 14^th? Thought not.

[White Lives Matter]

Correct!

[windsorknot]

It’s called a “peaceful transition”. Don’t ask any questions.

[RightLady]

We have a good Sec of State Hope and pray he will see things thru HONESTly

[cowboyusa]

The circut court is the 7th, overwhelmingly GOP.

[KC_Lion]

For your interest.

[Secret Agent Man]

this is nuts

10 days to flood the system with democrat ballots

insane

[windsorknot]

Budapest looks better and better.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

This is so damned unconstitutional, unfair, and infuriating. The Constitution sets an Election DAY. Not a week. Not a month. Not a season. A DAY.

But the Constitution stopped meaning anything decades ago.

[LIConFem]

Your words to His ears.

[doc maverick]

This is ridiculous!
Oregon has been doing mail in voting for years and there is no more than a 24hr delay on a few issues and the election is called on election night.
Mail in ballots are supposed to be counted as they come in.
Something really rotten is going on in these states.

[McGavin999]

Any state that has these rules should be forbidden from announcing any reports until all ballots are in and counted.

Look at the timeline of the vote in 2000 in Florida (Electoral College safe harbor date is December 12, meets on December 18):

• November 7, 2000 - Election Day
• November 14, 2000 - Deadline for certifying the election.
• November 15, 2000
  • Broward and Dade counties ignore deadline and continue manual recounting.
  • Florida state Supreme Court denies petitions to stop recounts after deadline.
  • Florida Secretary of State announces she will not include further returns from the counties.
• November 16, 2000
  • Gore campaign files a challenge to the certified results.
  • Florida Supreme Court allows West Palm Beach to continue manual recounts.
• November 17, 2000 - Florida Supreme Court bars Secretary of State from certifying the election "until further order of the court."
• November 20, 2000 - Florida Supreme Court hears arguments regarding inclusion of hand-recounted ballots.
• November 21, 2000 - Florida Supreme Court rules manual recounts can continue.
• November 22, 2000 - Bush campaign files in federal court for review of Florida Supreme Court ruling.
• November 23, 2000 - Gore campaign files in Florida Supreme Court to force Dade county to continue recounts. Court denies request.
• November 24, 2000 - US Supreme Court agrees to hear case.
• November 26, 2000 - Florida Secretary of State certifies election.
• November 27, 2000 - Gore campaign files to contest the Florida election.
• December 1, 2000 - US Supreme Court hears oral arguments.
• December 2, 2000 - Florida Circuit Court begins election contest trial.
• December 4, 2000
  • US Supreme Court vacates Florida Supreme Court decision.
  • Florida Circuit Court rules against Gore campaign.
• December 7, 2000
  • Florida Supreme Court hears appeal of Florida Circuit Court ruling.
  • Florida legislature issues proclamation calling for special session to consider appointing Electors.
• December 8, 2000
  • Florida Supreme Court reverses Circuit Court ruling against Gore campaign.
  • Bush campaign seeks stay of Florida Supreme Court ruling.
  • Florida legislature meets in special session and adjourns to meet again on December 12.
• December 9, 2000
  • Florida begins manual recount of "undervote" ballots.
  • Florida Supreme Court denies Bush campaign request for stay of order.
  • US Supreme Court issues stay to stop manual recounts.
• December 11, 2000 - US Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Florida recount.
• December 12, 2000
  • Florida legislature meets and approves 25 Electors pledged to Bush.
  • US Supreme Court issues ruling: 7-2 to overturn Florida Supreme Court ruling on recounts, saying that recounts must be statewide for "equal protection;" 5-4 that remedies not possible by deadlines.
• December 13, 2000 - Gore campaign concedes Florida election, declares Bush the winner.
• December 18, 2000 - Electoral College meets and selects George W. Bush as President.

Now, shift that timeline by another 10 days due to pushing out the return of "mail-in" ballots. That is the chaos that Democrats want to inject into the 2020 election in at least five states.

Article II Section 1:

“The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.”

The clause in Article II Section 1 mandating the Electoral College meet on the same day is what ultimately prevents this from spilling over into the new year. The Electoral College will meet whether these states participate or not. If they do not participate due to self-inflicted delays, the 270 vote threshold for majority will be reduced by half the Electoral votes of the states that fail to participate.

If they can “Al Franken” a few close states after Nov 3....that is Operation Red Mirage.

Not one of us will believe it.

Yep, and they know that’s what we will do. They ain’t scared of us.
