New Study: More Absentee Votes than Voters in Ohio
/A careful review of the absentee vote in one Ohio county revealed that
many more absentee votes were cast than there were absentee voters
identified. All absentee voters must be identified as such by name and
residence in the precinct poll books of the precinct in which they are
registered. Over 100 precinct poll books in Trumbull County were
checked for absentee voters and that number of actual absentee voters
was compared to the certified number of absentee votes. There was an
inflated difference in nearly every precinct of the five communities
examined. The five communities whose poll books were carefully
inspected for an absentee vote overcount are: Warren City (311),
Howland TownshipThe 106 precincts of these five Ohio communities, about
39% of all precincts in Trumbull County, netted a total of 580 absentee
votes for which there were no absentee voters identified in the poll
books. [more]
