Ohio County Mailer Sends Wrong Voting Location And Date To 3200 People



Ohio County Mailer Sends Wrong Voting Location And Date To 3200 People

The Ohio Democratic Party is calling for corrections to an Ottawa County Board of Elections mailer riddled with errors. 2,300 voters in the northern Ohio county received the notice informing them the election was November 8 and that their precinct was relocated to a different building. The Deputy Director called it a “costly mistake,” and said they were reissuing the mailer with the correct information. President Obama won Ottawa County in 2008 with 52 percent of the vote.

How does that happen?

Those are serious mistakes that anyone in a high level marketing position in any fortune 500 company would be summarily fired for.

Second - who is getting fired? And it better not be a lower tier clerical employee. The person that APPROVED the final copy prior to print needs to be very publicly shit canned.
