Ohio Democrats dominating absentee ballot requests, possibly creating election night angst
The Columbus Dispatch ^ | 9/27/2020 | Darrel Rowland, Rick Rouan Dan Horn

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.

Before COVID-19 hit, more Ohio Republicans than Democrats voted by mail, generally speaking. Democrats favored voting early in person at their county elections board, or going to the polls Election Day.

But in 2020, Democrats are far outdistancing GOP voters in requesting absentee ballots.

For example, at this point in the 2016 election, Stark County Democrats had asked for 6,000 mail ballots, compared with nearly 10,000 for Republicans.

This year, the Canton-area Democrats have sought more than 19,000, the Republicans fewer than 12,000.

Democratic ballot requests have more than tripled in Hamilton County as well, leaping from fewer than 17,000 four years ago to about 51,000 in 2020. Republicans have gone from about 16,000 to nearly 23,000.

They’ve probably been writing up ballots for weeks.

Trump can create a system that checks votes vs registered voters vs population in each voting district that will immediately show where the voter fraud is happening.

He needs special DOJ teams to immediately show up to those districts to audit the vote. Then prosecute.

Trump’s goal should not only be to win, but to win with a landslide that allows him to pass voter ID laws.

This is a nationwide trend. Fla is very suspicious however, the difference there was several hundred thousand requests and that was several weeks ago. Fla will once again be the ball game and everyone knows it.

This is why Biden is doing nothing. He has so much fraud on his side and feels he does not have to prove anything in this election.

There will be no states called on election night.

One by one as the states make enough ballots to put Joe ahead, they will be called in the weeks following.

It may be nothing more than who is more afraid to go their local polling station and who is not. Maybe more GOPers than Dims are not afraid of going to their polling station.

My guess is that from what President Trump has seen and faced for the last 3 1/2 years has caused him to take actions against voter fraud and cheating...He probably has done so very quietly and under cover and we just don’t know what all has been done...He is not a fool...I think he knows what he’s doing...

Democrats are also pinning their 2020 hopes on getting votes from people they’ve been
name-calling for years: those deplorable, racist, sexist, homophobic, fat, stupid, ignorant rubes.

It is doubtful the rubes will say, “Okay, you’re right,” put on their Wal-mart jeans, make the sign of the Cross,
get in the pickup, grab a McD’s burger, and go pull the lever for Dem candidates

But die-hard Democrats, in full retard, are going to try

Trump may very well loose due to the massive vote fraud being conducted in this election. Not only do the democrat manufacture votes, but they have ways of making sure the republican ones never get counted.

Wait until Election Day when the DEMs cause havoc by having precincts under-manned or outright closed in GOP-heavy districts.

Just wait. After the election, when mail ballots are being thrown out due to “issues”, Dems will sue, DEMANDING ballots without signature, ballots arriving late, ballots that are not in envelope, etc, etc, be counted and will drag out the election for weeks.

That’s their main objective.

I’m not sure Ohio tracks voters by party registration.

Moreover, they have always had a system where they count absentee ballots on election night, removing the outer envelope (verifying, etc) and counting the ballot itself in the early hours of election night. I’d be gobsmacked if they had a boatload of uncounted ballots after the election.

Since 2012, Ohio has mailed a ballot request (not a live ballot) to anyone who requested one. So this isn’t their first rodeo.
