Serious Voting Problems In Ohio

According to Atrios there are problems already appearing in Ohio. This from candidate Mitakides:

"The voter problems have already begun, and Republicans are apparently taking this race very seriously. Absentee ballots are being mailed with the wrong Congressional race on them… leaving my race out of the ballot. The ballots are being mailed to the City of Trotwood and is heavily Democratic and not being on the ballot here is devastating. Just as important, if these are irregular ballots, it will give Ken Blackwell a reason to throw them out… affecting Kerry’s race, too. We don’t know how many went out."

And from Josh Marshall:
"Someone in Columbus Ohio seems to be calling voters, impersonating an employee from the local election board, and telling folks that the location of their precincts has been changed. The recipients of the calls seem to be disproportionately elderly.

"This one's right out of the Karl Rove playbook."


No wonder Bush hasn't been travelling to Ohio. He has his henchman wrapping up its 20 electoral votes for him.
