Almost 50,000 voters in Ohio received faulty ballots in the mail due to a technical error, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Local officials in Franklin County, home to the state’s capital Columbus, said the error happened after a setting was changed on a machine which sorts absentee ballots into envelopes, Politico reported. They have promised corrected ballots will be sent out within 72 hours.
Despite isolating the problem to a single issue, the snafus were varied. Some ballots had incorrect congressional races, while others were mailed to people in the wrong precinct.
Ohio is one of around a dozen potential swing states in the 2020 election between President Trump and Joe Biden, making ballot errors there particularly notable.
The news continues to fuel questions about the integrity of absentee ballots as the coronavirus pushes Americans to vote by mail in what are expected to be unprecedented numbers. Other systems in other states have also been plagued by similar problems.
In New York City alone, roughly 100,000 ballots were incorrectly mailed to voters in Brooklyn. Affected residents were sent a new ballot and asked to destroy earlier ones, though anyone who already voted was asked to vote again. In the 2020 primaries, more than 84,000 mailed-in ballots were never counted at all.

Mail in ballots are a joke! Crooked Dumbocrats trying to steal an election, they are worse than China or the Russians!
ReplyDeleteRepublicans don't want mail in voting because there will be cheating and fraud. Democrats want mail in voting because there will be cheating and fraud...
ReplyDeleteThere you Go Again !! Out-Law Mail-ins !!!
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats know exactly what they are doing. Having bad ballots being sent out. All of a sudden another virus is let loose to build up cases and people getting sick. This is handwriting on the wall and anyone with common sense can see this. They want the election to last longer than Nov. 3rd which SHOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR ANY REASON!!!!!
ReplyDelete50,000 here, 6,000 there, 25,000 over there. Pretty soon it starts to add up.
ReplyDeleteMore Democrat attempts to CHEAT the election!
ReplyDeleteread between the lines
DeleteThats what this China Wong Fu virus was all about.....
locking us in , and mandatory mail in voting
I expect something will pop up just before Nov 3rd to keep support for President Trump down
Nah....doesn't sound too serious to me.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
Yes it does.
Start putting people in jail for "setting the wrong switch" and start limiting the number of people who get to "set the switches". In fact, REPLACE ALL OF THEM RIGHT NOW.
Fired. Gone. Set the wrong switch, my ace.
There have been WAAAAAAY too many of these "errors" in too many different places for it to be allowed to be used to decide who the next f'ing PRESIDENT OF THE USA will be...
This is some BS and anyone who doesn't think so is kidding themselves.
I don't want my vote cancelled by people who get to vote 2-3 times, even if their dead.
But, then again, I still believe in the Constitution.
