5. The notice she was talking about was sent out by the BOE
and if it stayed in their mailbox it was then returned to the BOE
and then the voter was red flagged and forced to vote provisionally.

It is a backhand way of voter suppression ..... under Ohio law if you
voted in the prior election you should still be eligible to vote.

I hope she followed up to the BOE and made sure her vote was counted
her husband should have voted too.

This practice is known as caging.

One thing I picked up on in November was people were told to vote
(by calls) to vote @ the wrong location .... they had to vote provisionally
and those votes were supposed to have been thrown out.

We only have 3,000 provisional votes not counted so in Franklin County ....
but still I bet you that the vast majority of those votes were dem votes.
If the normal figures flow (70% for Kilroy) Mary Jo would get 2100 votes
and Pryce would get 900 votes.
