In reply to the discussion: Official Vote Tally on Ohio's Pot Issue Deemed "Statistically Impossible" [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,777 posts)Turnout was indeed high, nearly that of the '08 election, but the new faces weren't young people. They were considerably older than the median, spurred to vote because of the multi million dollar propaganda campaign brought by our Republican Sec of State. That money spent proved far more effective than ridiculously far fetched hacking theories.
Husted included Issue 3, a safety measure that would have negated the pot issue entirely. It spuriously prohibited "monopolies" like the group of investors that were the growers and vendors. That issue passed by an even larger margin than Issue 3's failing, proving that most voters really are as gullible as expected.
This is just another case of crying fraud when a vote doesn't go the way one wants. If the investors want to, they can subpoena the paper trail that is viewed by the voters and locked under tamper-proof seal at the end of the night, and compare that to the electronic tally. I can bet that won't happen.
