I was blown away with this discussion on Fox today - I had no idea the State and Federal governments have ok'd the procedure.
The application for Ohio Voters is on line and it requires nothing substantive to show that people can commit fraud and change the outcome of the vote.

I think we need to scrap the whole system, and set a national standard. This is awful.
You can get an absentee ballot in FL by going to your county Supervisor of Elections website and entering only the name, address and date of birth of a registered voter. You are allowed to order ballots for others, although they are supposed to live in your household.
??? Even WA isn’t that liberal. Add into the mix the AlGore setting practice of flying in lawyers and the scam of determining voter “intent” and you’re on the way to stealing another election. Counting, counting, counting...
The problem with the US is that we are too civil and peace loving. We should have tarred & feathered then run our corrupt elected officials out of town a long time ago.
In the meanwhile 3rd world Mexico requires photo ID & a thumb print to cast a ballot...
I understand the absentee ballot system Lady but in the case of busloads of students from the university in Ohio - or busloads of homeless people from the shelters being taken in to register and vote immediately - it hardly says there is any control over the eligibility of those voting OR if some of them will vote twice (ie: students) in the case of their college address and another home address perhaps in another state?
Where is the control of the duplications or eligibility in the case of undocumented people.
The ballot shown on the website this morning (which has disappeared) had no specific queries as to SS# or even a Drivers’ License.
I wasn’t defending the system, I was pointing out that other states have an equally lax system. I find it...interesting...that so many swing states practically encourage vote fraud.
Anyone with a criminal mind, a few IP addresses and the names, addresses and dates of birth of shut-ins and others unlikely to vote can vote multiple times using FL’s lax absentee voter system. And they never even have to risk going near a polling place to do it. It’s a travesty.
I think that is what has been bothering me - is the lax accounting of the voting process.
This is my first election and I went over the voting process carefully last year with the County Registrar when I applied for my absentee ballot documentation.
We both decided my first vote might be more comfortable if I filled it out at home in peace and quiet and mail it in.
I saw it as being extra careful my vote would be counted and it went smoothly in the primary - but I honestly don’t know what happens here in my own state because I have never been in a voting precinct myself. Maybe I’ll go with a friend and watch how it works there....even though I will have already mailed back my ballot.
I am disappointed fraud is considered part of the result.
