22. This is not a huge deal...

Two things to remember.

1) Ohio County Boards of Elections are bi-partisan, which makes it very difficult for their to be much overt chicanery. When I lived in Hamilton County (Cincinnati) the two Democratic members of the BOE were the County Party Chair and the President of the local AFL-CIO. Hardy a couple of patsies.

2) Marion County - mentioned in the article - is not very large and it is very white and largely Republican. If they missed absentee ballots there, it's probably not going to have a huge negative impact on Obama.

5. The justice department needs to wiretap Rove

A threat to a fair election is a threat to national security. We all know they are planning to try and steal this thing.

[Phx_Dem]

14. Or "drone" him.

[TroyD]

6. Why are Secretaries of State still allowed to try and steal elections for their parties?

What other Western country allows partisan political officials to control elections like they do in Middle East?

[LisaL]

9. Beats me.

But we allow it, so SOS Husted is working hard.

[TroyD]

13. The SOS is supposed to be there to work on behalf of the public

NOT to try and fix elections so that they benefit his party.

It's an outrage that this is still going on 12 years after the 2000 Election.

When are people going to stand up and demand an end to it?!

[longbow5]

17. ?

this will end badly

[MjolnirTime]

10. concern noted

[outsideworld]

11. Get out of here with that Bs

This is a cause fo real concern , 35000 ballot rejected doesnt seem like something we should be concerned about ?

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Yes

You are freaking out.

You should stop freaking out.

Or take a walk or something.

[courseofhistory]

19. Or Call or write

election and other officials in OH. If you're in OH, GO to the polls and election headquarters and have them SHOW you what is being rejected and then get on the horn and let the DNC know if you think they are not on top of it.

[NorthCarolina]

15. Be careful, some here on DU will accuse you of being nuts for

implicating the GOP in any form of "election theft". You can find them crawling all over this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251197728

They have it all under control apparently.

[Maximumnegro]

16. How about we poop our pants when the campaign does

until the campaign makes an issue of this, relax. You really think the first Af-Am president is going to let them steal the election? Come on...

[NorthCarolina]

21. I have no idea what his race has to do with

whether or not he would "let them steal the election". Do you mean that a white guy may allow them to steal it, but an African American guy wouldn't?

This whole issue of election theft, and whether it's really happening or not, has NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA. It's about our Democracy.

[NewJeffCT]

18. Is that why Fox was orgasmic over Romney doing well in early voting in Ohio?

or, are they blowing smoke on that, too?

[NCLefty]

20. "Anonymous, we need you now."

Someone commented that below the story. I sure hope *someone* is going to get to the bottom of this.
