Supposedly, if they used the same name the board of elections will disqualify those extras. They said if they try to also vote on Nov 4th and have turned in an absentee ballot they will be given a provisional ballot and then the issue will be sorted out afterwards. Supposedly, on all these absentee ballots, they are going to mail a letter confirming their information to the address given, if they get the letter returned then they will set out another letter and if that one comes back the absentee ballot will be voided. So my question here is given the massive numbers produced is it even possible for the elections board to resolve the problems before Nov 4th???? If they don't, do they throw up their hands and say it's too much and then just accept the fraudulent ballots as is? FNC says they will re-interview the elections board official in a couple of weeks to see how many letters were returned for bad addresses.

OH has allowed out-of-state/out-of-area students to register in the county of their university abodes for almost 40 years. I know this because some kind of dumb marijuana referendum pass in 1970 or so in Oxford, where Miami U is. No way it passes without student votes. I also believe there is no control over such students voting in 2 states. Unfortunately, I don’t believe this is unusual.

One of the film clips got my attention given the apparently loose criteria for voter registration in Ohio. College Students! How many out of state college students are in Ohio? What prevents out of state students from voting in the Ohio elections?

It is ripe for exploitation. There are a lot of good people in Ohio. However, if bad people have no problem voting two or more times there is no way the good will outweigh the bad.
