Are Absentee Ballots and Early Voters’ Ballots Being Discarded in Franklin County?
A reliable source in the Central Ohio mainstream media told me earlier today that their outlet was looking into what may be “hundreds of mailed in ballots” which could be disregarded by the Franklin County, Ohio County Board of Elections.
For those of you outside Ohio, Franklin County is the home of Columbus, Ohio’s capital city.
The problem may stem from the fact that Ohio absentee ballots contain two envelopes. The voter fills out the ballot and is supposed to seal the ballot in an envelope which they then sign and date. That envelope then goes into the postage envelope.
My source tells me that the Board of Elections has received “hundreds” of ballots which were simply placed in the postage envelope without being sealed in the inner envelope with signature and date. This reporter said that election officials deem those ballots “invalid.”
I asked if voters would be made aware so that they could re-cast their vote. My source said this is not allowed. I asked if there were more Dems or Republicans voting early. The answer was Dems by a mile.
If this is true, and you are absentee/early voting, follow every instruction contained in that absentee voter package.
