Wrong Info Sent To Thousands Of Franklin County Voters

Ohio — The Franklin County Board of Elections said on Monday it sent letters to more than 4,000 voters who received reminder cards with incorrect information.

About 4,860 voters received the cards, the BOE said.

Some voters received reminder cards that listed incorrect names for Columbus City Schools being used as voting locations. The schools had been renamed since they were last used in the May election.

Other cards were sent out with the wrong address for a voting location in Columbus precincts 26-C and 26-D, the BOE said.

The voting location for Columbus precinct 27-A, at 3450 Medway Ave., was previously called Eastmoor Middle School, but has since been renamed the Columbus Preparatory School for Boys. There are 995 registered voters in the precinct, the BOE said.

1. I'm sure the recipients of the cards were about equally R & D…?

No chance that they tended to go to Democratic neighborhoods?

Inquiring minds…

2. Fucking Ohio again.

:thumbsdown: and to AZ while I'm at it!

3. I hope the poll workers direct people to the correct location...

...instead of giving them provisional ballots, which will be thrown out because of the wrong precincts.

Ideally, statewide races would still count in that situation.

In practice, they throw out the entire ballot.
