The Observation Deck

With the difficulties in the past, and the fact that you no longer have to have a reason to vote absentee, many groups are suggesting that you vote by absentee ballot.

Just print it out and mail it in.

This may cause some difficulties for the board of elections, but at least you will be able to make sure you have a real paper trail and you vote counted.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully, this election will not turn into a disaster like the May election was for the absentee situation.

hopefully the absentee votes get counted

According to this morning's paper, they still haven't figured out a good way to count the absentee ballots.

I'm beyond outrage at how Cuyahoga County's AND Ohio's voters are being treated.

So....voting machines are a crap shoot, absentee ballots will overtax a screwed-up elections board.....what's the solution? Maybe the entire state could meet on Public Square for a show of hands?
