1) only one early voting place per county, doesn't matter how many people reside in the county
2) one drop box per county, doesn't matter how many people reside in the county

All of that means that it's impossible to do a lot of volume during early voting, unless voting by mail.

They were surprised by the number of mail absentee requests? I call bullshit. There is a pandemic going on. It was obvious that absentee requests were going to go way up.

Company should not accept orders it couldn't full fill.

Is it any surprise OH is red? Small rural counties can vote just fine with their one voting place per county and one drop box per county.
Large urban counties can't easily early vote, unless by mail, and now there are issues with getting absentee ballots by mail?
