(47,423 posts)It's a kind of voter suppression, because OH only allows one early voting place per county. Oh and Franklin county screwed up mail absentee ballots with some people getting the wrong ballots.
The whole "per county" thing irritates me to no end. It's like those endless Facebook posts of red maps of the US, with the meme being about how many counties Trump won. Makes me want to scream!
A "county" is not a standardized unit. Los Angeles County has more people than 40 of the states. Focusing on counties IS a voter-suppression technique. Populous counties get 1 drop off site, and counties with more farm animals than people also get 1 drop off site. It's ridiculous.

I used to live and, of course, vote in Franklin! Never saw lines like this!

The conservatives among them whose choices over decades have lead to this fully deserve it, but hope this wholesale abuse and attempted disenfranchisement angers a few into changing their minds about voting Republican.
